Poetry
This poem is
dedicated to animal lovers everywhere. Especially those
wonderfully caring people who go that extra mile and spread the
plight of abused and neglected animals throughout
the world. It is their dedication that inspired me to write the
following words.

One More
Voice I wish that I was
so inflamed to set the world on fire,
To feel so much
intensity, to have so much desire.
To feel such
passion deep within, I'd want to so inspire
The world to feel
the same as me, so they'd be lifted higher.
Across the miles
of cyber space for all the world to see,
I'll plead the
cause for wildlife, with words of poetry.
From coast to
coast, from sea to sea, this now will be my
plea,
"Protect the
rights of animals, please help to set them
free."
To fight the cause
for innocence, in verse, is now my plan.
And I will add my
voice to theirs, and help where e'er I can,
To all four
corners of the earth, such cruelty we must be
ban,
The senseless
death of animals wrought by the hands of
man.
One more voice now
will be heard, I'll do my best to write,
With pen in hand
instead of sword, my voice will join the
fight.
One more voice
inspired now, to aid their helpless plight,
The written word
is stronger than the sword or bullet's
might.
