So many broken lives - men, women, children - human beings
killed, rapped, and maimed, by human beings.
religion - dominating religion -dominating religion - what a feeble excuse for power lust.

Thank you, Stephen.
Currently, in UK Parliament and in the media, the cheerleaders of hate and hypocrisy, ever more strident in their outright lying and use of the term "Illegals", et cetera, continue the journey of demonisation and dehumanisation which once led to the gas chambers.
Despite all the posturing on Monday on the part of some, it appears we have failed to learn the lessons from those horrors.
Never again......for anyone!

I don't know how teachers do it. Kids are so entitled these days - their attitudes would drive me up the wall. Like the sentiment of this one.

Existential angst and a yearning for more positivity seem more real as we progress to the latter stages of life. Experience teaches us to hope for the best, but reality gets in the way. Keep the standard going.

Well said, Mike.💐💖💐
What I find absolutely sickening, is the eagerness of some commentators and politicians to exploit the deaths, mental and physical injuries, and suffering of the families and wider community involved, for their own self-aggrandisement.
One so-called "comedian" who frequently poses as some kind of philosopher, has blatantly attempted to justify racial prejudice, deliberately inflaming social unrest, leading to yet further suffering.

It’s not long enough? The youths round these parts seem to have a cure.
At any time of year, the moment bright sunshine appears, drive around the roads at high speeds, in cars with sawn-off exhausts rattling like a bag of spanners; techno boom bang-a-bang turned up to full volume, whilst performing tarmac-melting wheelspins; Beats viagra into a cocked hat,...apparently!😉

Comment is about Hideaway (blog)
Original item by Rick Varden
Concerning foxes: the argument attempting to justify the ritual delighting in brutality and blood lust as a method of so-called “pest control” is a bogus one.
In recent years, foxes have been deliberately bred in artificial warrens throughut northern and southern England, to provide victims for their blood sport.
Good news though, concerning birth control of grey squirrels. Numbers of the non-native, and disease-spreading grey squirrel in the UK have been curtailed; whilst increased numbers of red squirrels have been recorded in Yorkshire; but whether that is directly due to birth control, I don’t know.

An immensly important poem. Poetry is one way of countering a wordwide trend which relies on conspiracy theories and rumour as a substitute for proper enquiry. Just look at the damage being done by unfounded anti-vax movements and climate change deniers.
We need more poems like this.

Thankyou for your comments, Graham, Uilleam and Rolph. Eccles, a character in the 'Goon Show' was once asked 'What are you doing here?'. He replied: 'Everybody's got to be somewhere'. A devastating, if rather spurious, piece of logic.
We have had slogans like 'You are what you eat.' How about 'You are where you are'?
And thanks to everyone who liked this poem.

Original item by Stephen W Atkinson
David Thank you for your response I agree that a degree of management is needed, but it does not always necessitate killing, I believe that the French experimented with birth control for foxes some years ago. I don't know what the outcome was but I am sure more research could be done on that subject.
It is well known that if you kill a wild animal another one will take over that vacant territory so why not control the numbers but leave the foxes in situ?
I live in fox country, and we see and hear them regularly, I feel sure if more people saw them they would be surprised at how small they are.
I have lost chickens to the fox but it did not occur to me to blame anyone other than myself, I have not lost any lambs.
Thank you for the link - it is grim viewing but it should be out in the open and, like any other animal cruelty case, the perpetrators should be brought to justice and banned from owning or working with animals.
WHAT IS WRONG WITH US?
Steve, you are just so right why would a trail hunt need spades and terriers? and how many terriers are badly injured underground when a fox is fighting for its life? do they get treated by a vet or are they expendable?
Trail hunting will have to come to an end because of these twisted blood lusting sportsmen, and the genuine bloodhounds following the clean boot will be the losers because of them.

Thank you, RBK, Tom, and Branwell. It is not a pretty poem, and I did not expect a response, so thank you so much for reading and liking it.
Rolph, Thank you for your comment. I was not sure if I had expressed my anger and contempt strongly enough. For anyone to be capable of and enjoy such utter cruelty leaves me feeling sick with disgust. The fact that they were also teaching a child, and escape justice is just beyond understanding.
Uilleam, it is indeed what good men died for - freedom for all - what a tragedy it included the freedom to tear apart a living animal.
County of Kent - polite, well behaved, well spoken, well educated, well off, butter wouldn't melt, entitled.
Not so long ago they used to meet in my village - holding up the traffic flow on an A road in the most imperious manner, and swamping our woods with fast horses and a large pack of hounds. When they finally packed up I will swear that even our trees were shocked - the silence was unnerving.
