Hunters

Hunters

A Poem by E.J. Michalec

We are all just hunters here
Can’t see what’s in the distance but we Notice that it’s moving
We’re just... hunters here
Purely based on outlines we see it as a threat
We are just hunters here
We pull back on our tongues and we shoot arrows made of words
We’re just... hunters here
News stories are today’s catch using the netting that we rigged the day before
We’re... hunters here
Remove the guts from tragedies as if it’s just another day we’re just... hunters here
But do we have to be?
Why must we be hunters?
Why not be gardeners instead?
There’s so much abundant fruit that this world has to offer that is free to be enjoyed by every human being
Fruit so sweet and beautiful down to its very core
We may have done some damage but why not gather the remains and use them to fertilize a brighter future
Dig down deep bury all the broken hearts knowing that something good can come from this if we root it in kindness
Tend to our fallen kind because at the end of the day we are all one
