A Fool and His Bullet
By Anonymous
An Animal Rights Poem from All-Creatures.org

All of God's creatures have rights, a fact that most people don't seem to recognize. This includes both human and non-human animals, but not all of them can speak for themselves.

A Fool and His Bullet
By Anonymous

With innocence and grace you run through the leaves
Unaware of the danger hiding up in the trees.

You are a staple in nature, a part of the wild
You care for your young, like any mother with child.

Instincts are keen, in a flash you will run
From the branches above, a blast from a gun.

In less than a second, you fall to the floor
From A Fool and His Bullet, on this earth, you’re no more.
