The Tillamook Monster
A hunter
from Oregon
(at 66, past
his own prime,
and so envious
of the power,
beauty,
virility,
of another,)
shoots
a magnificent
bull elk,
(nine feet tall,
standing,)
with his nasty,
little bow
and arrow,
(to inflict
maximum pain,
and slow,
slow death,
on his better,
his perceived
rival).
Unable
to track down
his fatally
wounded victim
in the dark,
(a father
of young ones,
a protector
of doting cows,
a forest-edge feeder
of grasses, plants,
leaves and bark,)
he plans
to return
the next morning
for an unholy Sunday
with the landowner,
in the hope
of dispatching
this brave heart
survivor.
He finds
the panting,
wounded bull,
at 9.15am –
a broken arrow
still in his neck,
the splintered shards
cutting, severing
like glass.
In a rare
moment
of Natural
Justice,
the dying elk
sees him,
and rises
to his feet again;
he charges
at Mark David,
goring him
in the neck,
making
a mirror wound,
with his
antlers!
Despite
the landowner’s attempt
to help the hunter
(not the elk notably,)
the killer dies,
sustaining
“fatal injuries.”
Mark David
pierced the neck
of a bull elk.
The bull elk
gored the neck
of Mark David.
Oregon State Police
(learning nothing)
kill the dying bull,
cutting up, hacking at
his perfect body,
to feed to the prisoners
at Tillamook
County Jail.
Their petty revenge,
following their
“investigation.”

The sinking of the Gulf ‘Livestock’ 1
Five
thousand
thousand
thousand
thousand
thousand!
Eight
hundred
hundred
hundred
hundred
hundred
hundred
hundred
hundred
young
“cattle”
died
this week,
in a mass
sinking.
Trapped in
a “hold,”
unable
to escape,
to swim,
to struggle free,
the waters
rising –
till healthy
lungs filled,
to bursting.
These gentle
brothers who
were never destined
(in the Divine Mind)
to be ‘meat’
to be sea cows
…drowned.
The coastguard,
global press,
shipping company
politicians
only concerned
about the
forty two
human crew.
‘Food’ for
deepest
thought…

Comment by Edward P Johnston on 6 September, 2020 at 5:52 pmFirst summary, then details with a click.
Half a century ago in High School I wrote a story for the local paper on the absurdity
of a local custom – Deer Hunting. Resulting in some threatening calls to my mom from hunters!
The Elk Story reminds me of that now, and with the ability to reach a larger audience, may it bring awareness and change.
