TRIUMPH OF SPIRIT IN LOVE, NATURE & ART

The Haunting

P1080675

The haunted look

in the eyes

the plastic tags

in the ears

the bit of grass

in the coat

of a tender soul

behind bars

*

One day

the haunted

will arise in glory

their souls ablaze

with triumph

*

One day

 we will pay

our dying hearts

 haunted

by the very souls

 hunted

by the likes of us

  1. I am unable to understand why anyone who puts animals in these situations can not be haunted by what they see and feel. I guess they don’t really see or feel. And one day they will be forced to. God tells us that. I believe that. I am leaving a quote here that I think of in theses situations- Life is as dear to a mute creature as it is to man.Just as one wants happiness and fears pain, just as one wants to live and not die, so do other creatrues.

    • Me, too. I hang my head also. I still eat chicken, fish and dairy. And we kill mice that come in the house with poison pellets. It’s awful! Just awful! Have tried other ways. It seems hypocritical of me to write these poems but I feel the need to start somewhere and I stopped eating beef, lamb and pig some time ago for moral reasons.
