Just with six lines you have made bare the gun culture of the people in the modern era. .Doves are birds most docile and harmless. To shoot down a dove, i feel is an act most cruel. Imagine! clapping and rejoicing the killing of an innocent being........Rajnish ji an intense poem....10

I don't like shooting birds for sport either. What do people see in it? It is more cruel than anything.

I fully agree with you and that was the main purport of writing this piece. This kind of adventure (or whatever) cannot and should not be allowed.

The whole point of a weapon is to kill. Hunting is an abomination.

Yes, every kind-hearted soul will prefer to side with this opinion and that is the most plausible one.

Agreed, there is no spiritualism here but the question of morality looms. State laws will also not permit such a move. Thanks for the comments.

Licensed gun should not be used by the boy to shoot any bird or white dove. Every creature should live here in freedom. This poem us truly very thought provoking. An amazing poem is brilliantly penned.10

There is no reason to doubt this observation. Unauthorized use of a weapon could have far-reaching repercussions. Thanks, Kumarmani ji, for a very slick review of the poem and appreciation.

What will happen is a tricky question. But yes, action taken by the son can boomerang on his father. Thanks a lot, Dear Sir.
