Does hunger torment you so much that you wish to eat me A body and soul, battered and bruised, no longer free If so then I forgive you, for I too know hunger and pain I too know the flow of tears, falling fast like stinging rain
I too know the fear of death, the fear that today is the last When breathing becomes laboured and heart beats too fast I know what it feels like, when starvation comes to stay It takes over all your senses, and evil comes to play
Evil comes in many shapes and forms, it beats us till we fall It cares not for any suffering, hears not our voiceless call It has no thought of what we feel, sees not our bloody sores For we are just a dish to eat, and people they want more
Next time you sit to eat your meal, enjoy your steak my friend Think not of what we suffered, when death a welcome end Think only of the flavour, each bite so soft and sweet Stave off your starvation, with this bruised and battered meat
And when the meal is over, delicious you will tell Remember I forgive you, for I know the pain so well
In Memory of "A Little Grey Mare" RIPx

me too. How about printing and having a selection published to raise money and awareness? I don't know about self publishing but maybe some good professional pritning would work? Maybe some professionnals on this DG or others who could help? Any leagal people know how it would work? Just an idea but they are so good and I for one know that when I receive the photo that comes on the leaflets it's so tough I can't deal with it. This is a non-violent, beautiful way of touching people without scaring them off.

Dedicated to everyone involved in stopping live transportaion of any animal for meat..
Please I beg you from my heart, do not look away Nor cast your eyes aside, nor forget me for today I do not ask so much, only that you see my plight That perhaps just maybe, for my dignity you’ll fight Could you find the strength I’ve lost, to be a voice for me Speak out loud and strong, so that others hear my plea
I only want some comfort, small needs of mine to tend Don’t let them treat me cruelly, compassion you could lend Some water would be welcome, a rest some food to eat Could you also tell them, that we are more than meat Thank you for listening, I know you’ve heard my plea I know that you are fighting, for justice and for me.

Once again Frenchmare you say it all so well! Someone must be able to get these published they deserve as does Frenchmare to be read by more people than on these sites.
