I read this recently in this column decided to write a belated critical analysis on it. Then, I changed my mined, decided to take it away. It was pointless. I hope he feels good.
I am writhing this because someone asked. -

This was a real punch in the guts type of poem. Where I live we have lots of wildlife crossing the roads and we do slow down but , sadly, there's still too much road kill.

I said (rather darkly) to my family driving down the motorway, "The best place to see wildlife is at the side of the bloody road". Anyway, that gave me the idea for this.
Thanks for reading, Hellon.

Thank you, both. Noura - I agree. Perhaps in a different way, but I do agree. Accidents are accidents, after all, and they can't be prevented. What is wrong is that innocents have to live in a world where those accidents have such tragic consequences. Where beauty is snuffed by such random events. You are right - it is wrong.

My heart sank and I was knocked sideways when I imagined this.
Animals shouldn’t be hurt, even by accident. They shouldn’t die. They just should be fine. Always.
