A Poem for Rare Bird Shooting

Who shot the Harrier?
I, said the gun, with my hair trigger.
I shot the Harrier.

Who stole his flight?
I, said the crosshairs, with my telescopic sight.
I stole his flight.

Who silenced his cry?
I, said the bullet, straight as a die
I silenced his cry.

But who held the gun?
I, said the hand, the hand of The Man.
I held the gun.
