For two reasons, we shoot.

I stroll the hood in a boot
With an iPhone to shoot
Birds that fly or perch.
I climb trees and hills in search
Of beauty not garbed in filter’s scam
For likes and comments on Instagram

They stroll the hood in an old boot
With catapults to shoot
Birds that fly or perch
They climb trees and hills in search
Of defenceless beauty to kill
Just for their belly
