A Hunter

Sarah A. Odom

A hunter for flowers for stolen hours,
A hunter for God
Just to live in his abode
A hunter for a life
Just to cause strife
A hunter for love
Sent from God above
A hunter for good
Just for it to be misunderstood
A hunter for the best
Just for it to become bad like the rest
A hunter for a dream
Just for it to become art at the seam
A hunter for a goal
Just to lose the soul
A hunter for a successful tale
Just for it to fail
A hunter for a good story
Just for it to lose its glory
A hunter for information
Just to declare a proclamation.
