More Truth Than Poetry
BY JAMES j. MONTAGUE
EuTHANAsIA I'M THE ARCTIC

"A Il
No longer the walrus will quail
And wish that he knew how to run
When he sees on the ice covered trail
A man with spear or q gun.
No longer the WatchfuI and wise polar
bear
The whines of her offspring Will
stifIe
When she sees as she looks to the
south from her lair,
A lad with a high powered rifle.
For hunters are growing humane
And kindly and merciful sort,
No longer they kill things for gain
But only for love of the sport.
Their victims no more with dread
terror are filled
And quake to their innermost mar
row,
For now they are sure, if they're gou
ing to be killed,
They'll be killed with a bow and an
arrow.
No thought enters into the head
OF the caribou, musk OK or seal
OF how awful half ounce of lead
AS it tears through his midriff will
feel.
No sound will he hear but the snap of
the string
And a whirr like the flight of a
pheasant
And his subsequent death will be
robbed of it's sting,
And be quiet and easy and pleasant.
1t is true that the shaft from the bow
Will kill brutes exactly as dead
And leave them eternally So
AS if it were made ou1 of lead.
