BOXING DAY HUNT

Forest floor drenched with warm fox blood.
Harrowing red smeared over young boy's face:
archaic initiation into titled manhood.
Outdated, morally abominable, sickeningly barbaric.
Yelping hounds fighting over torn apart entrails.
Frenzied, out of control, while red-coated huntsmen on immaculate mounts

are euphoric. Animalistic. The sight of fresh blood
is their ultimate turn-on - ah, such warped eroticism:
an imbred instinct for slaughtering the helpless.
What does this reveal about our mighty Betters?
That they're lacking in conscience and devoid of compassion.
But, what goes around comes around. So hunters BEWARE!!!

  1. Ygraine,
    In front of the hunter, there is a possibility. I'm here, trapped in your traps that won't let me out of your life! But who says I want to leave?
    Kisses !!!

  6. I do hope that karma not only bites them but scatters their entrails.
    Yet another great poem. On a dreadful, dreadful subject.

  11. My dear friend...your talented way with words paints a picture in my mind that is vivid enough to bring tears to my eyes and sadness to my heart.
    How can this barbaric ritual be tolerated in this day and age...but then violence is a part of man's everyday life so much now.

    Wishing you a peaceful and happy 2020, my beautiful friend!

    Much Love and Big Hugs ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
