Hunting Big Game

What if love replaces violence
and life replaces bloodshed
Hatred scrubbed away by love
what if?

Lets stop killing
in the name of religion
or leisure hunting

What if soldiers turn down their guns
and replace them with flowers?
No bullets will be fired
only cameras will do the shooting!

Let's flashback to the era
and freeze all the frames
replacing ammunition
that bring mankind a shame,
replacing it with flowers,
with bright colors petal and stem

What if a predator
becomes a prey's empathetic friend?
what if you you use only lenses
for hunting the big game!
