To many this poem may seem silly and they may argue that hunting deer is something that has to be done in order to keep down their population. But still it is heartbreaking to me and I despise hunting. I long for the day when there will be no more killing of innocent human beings and innocent creatures.
Innocence Lost
by writerforeverBorn into this world was he
Full of life
A small fawn, innocent was he
Surrounded by nature
The trees that whispered with the wind
The birds that sang melodies
The stream of cool water
He knew them well
Along with the scent of his mother
Her presence, so comforting
He grew into an adult
Slender and shining
With joy he races across the fields
To live is his only desire
Bounding, leaping through the fields
He is content
He is happy
But in a swift moment
A loud sound that echoes on through the forest
Is heard
Pain, the terrible pain in his shoulder
Collapsing to the ground
The young deer lies
His innocent blood pouring forth
Covering the sacred ground
Death consumes him
His life has been taken
Man has took it
Innocence is lost
Life is taken
Life so beautiful
So vibrant
Is taken
Innocence is lost
