A Voice
If I could change one thing,
I would give a voice to those who don’t have one.
I would give it to the animals that sit in cramped cages
With horrific conditions in the pitch-black fear.
I would shed light to open people’s minds.
I ‘d help the injured and report the hurt.
There would be no living being
Left affected by lack of compassion or affection
Stolen by economically driven farmers.
If I had it my way,
There wouldn’t be a tag
Dangling the price of a life off one’s neck.
I hear the unspoken cry
From the millions of animals
That sit behind hidden lies
That the food market feeds us.
I believe in humanity and its raw power to make a difference
Not only I,
But we can all make a change.
I would give the animals and people and market
A voice to scream for humane treatment
To the other living creatures
That walks this world with us.
