Remembering Stolen Lives

Remembering Stolen Lives

Lest We Forget Them

Remembering Stolen Lives – it’s common place to read the story and see the image of a lost animal – especially those whose lives were stolen through abuse – corruption – greed, ignorance and betrayal. We say a silent prayer for them and then we move on. There will be a new story and another haunting photograph the next day.

To honour the animals who have gone too soon it is imperative to take a moment to reflect on their lives and to really see their essence. It’s important to remember that they had a mother and a father – perhaps brothers and sisters. They had a personality and a sense of fun. They had feelings and they wanted to play, to love, to feel joy and to live!

They looked out at the world through two soft, beautiful eyes. They knew fear, pain, depression and exhaustion. They recognized betrayal and they knew what confusion and loneliness felt like. More than anything else – just like humans – they wanted to be free.

I Wrote The Night Of The Freezing For Angel

The Night Of The Freezing

It was the night of the freezing

When all through the land

Doggies lay dying

With no helping hand.

The owners sat snug and warm in their homes

While judges complained about old legal tomes

The puppies were crying – their little pink pads

Turned purple with frostbite – these poor little lads.

Their mothers sat helpless – chained to the bone

While whimpers turned silent – now cold as a stone

Some humans cried foul – these deaths must all stop

But others just shrugged and said “go call a cop”.

By morning the snow coats a silent sweet hound

Where life had once sparkled – no longer a sound

And humans now rise and stretch in the dark

On a day when we’re missing another sweet bark!

For All The Veal Calves – Stolen Lives

 I Wrote This For Them …

A Veal Calf 

             I know there is a beautiful place                

Where kindness reigns with love and grace

Where Mother watches me sleep at night

And nothing can dim the morning light.

 

Instead my stall is dank and still

My legs are weak and sore

I can’t lie down or stretch or mill

My broken heart has lost its core.

 

Curled fists crash down on my head

I know in my soul I would rather be dead.

I struggle to turn – see the eyes of a brother

And briefly recall the sweet face of my Mother.

 

I dream of fields and warm sunshine

Of running free and life sublime

Instead I wait – can this be real

Yes it is – I’m becoming your veal.

 

And one day soon when I’m on your plate

Will you ever ponder my dreadful fate

And wonder why you stole my life

Why I paid so dearlyunder your knife!
