Bullfight Barbarism

 

The ancient barbarism
of bullgoring fights
which to innocents cause
such pain and fright
will inevitably give way
to spiritual light

Footnote:

Ernest Hemingway took out

the pain of unrequited love

on the animals of Africa

whom he enjoyed blasting

when he was not popularizing

bullfights through his public

attendance.

Centuries ago the pope in a papal bull

(no pun intended) excommunicated

priests who blessed bullfights
