The Hunter's Dilemma

The Hunter’s Dilemma The hunter is a proud person Proud of where he comes from Proud of what he does And proud of what he has done. But a hunter is a respectful person Respectful of his elders Respectful of his wife And respectful of the nature in which he plays If a hunter takes a life He does not rejoice in the animal’s strife Instead he thanks the powers in the sky For the animal’s cunning, meat, and amazing eyes He understands that every life is precious And that nothing is endless So he takes a life even though he respects it. And places it above the fire never to admit That even though he killed this amazing animal He will always feel a small amount of guilt.
