Being Veggie

Listen to poem:

Being Veggie Here I am. From top to toe A meat-free human Don't ya know People asked me Why the shoes? I do not eat them. I'd often muse.. But now I'm older And life's moved on With larger issues To dwell upon I'll soon be forty Years a veg. No highland castle Or trust fund hedge My account is clear. My conscience too But still with plenty More to do It thrills my soul The human-race Denies nutrition With a face A greater cause Now lies before The victims no longer Just legs of four The truth is out. Our selfish ways May just have numbered All our days.. And who'd have thought To cure our blindness We must return To love and kindness. Jinjagoliath 23rd September 2021

Edging slowly towards plant-based way before it was fashionable. Go me (and you)
