He ran across in front of his car confused in the headlight's glare <br />He heard a bump he could not stop he knew he had killed the hare <br />Another car followed close behind so he had to drive on <br />'Twas not his fault though that in itself of no consolation to Ron. <br /> <br />And though the hare he could not avoid about it he feels bad <br />For the creature his car killed last night today he does feel sad <br />Though the hare he did have a quick end and did not suffer any pain <br />That his car should have caused it's death the regret with him does remain. <br /> <br />When he tells his friends about last night they tell him it's okay <br />The poor hare you could not avoid such things happen every day <br />That was how the hare was meant to die it was it's destiny <br />At least it did not suffer pain and death came suddenly. <br /> <br />A wildborn creature dead on the roadway is not an uncommon sight <br />But he does feel quite sad today that he killed a hare last night <br />He is compassionate of heart his type of person rare <br />It saddens him to think last night he caused the death of a hare.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-death-of-a-hare/
