How can this happen?
My poor child, stolen from her youth,
What nobody knew and dared to think.
She was savagely tied up, drugged and tortured.
Away from her family, she gave up hope of returning home.
But she struggled to live and someday be free again.

Time was not on her side.
By Springtime she was a shadow of herself.
She would never see the light of day,
But she still had her feelings, and her dreams.
She was a soul, a wretched soul, but a soul to be restored one day.

We are complicit, but it’s complicated
How many pats of butter, licks of heaven, dollops of sweet cream have we had this year?
How we love our steaks, sausages, liver and lean burgers with the juice dripping out.
How can we eat the blood of another, our beloved, our forsaken animal friends, nightly.

We cannot simplify our lives until we stop our lies
How can we change the destiny of human beings in our time?
How can we get back to a peaceful society of farmers, artists and dreamers?
How long will it be until drugs and disease and destitute people are not the feature story?

What you can do…
1. Choose organic for meat, eggs, dairy and produce. This supports an end to suffering, and the healing of planet Earth
2. Eat less animal foods, and chew well, thinking about the true cost of your meal
3. Discover the joys of plant-based eating for health, environment and peace
3. Be skeptical of a government that sends your children off to war to protect its cash flow
4. Be wary of those choosing to make a buck as you seek to balance your life, destroying our health, our planet, and our peace.
Choose Nature…
