Fighting for animal liberation and an end to speciesism
Soar
Can you capture a rainbow and confine it to a bottle?
Why then
Why,
do we think that anything beautiful is ours for the taking.
Why then
Why,
do we snatch them out of the skies to imprison them in a fishbowl.
They are created with heavenly wings, to fly, and fly, and
Soar.
Soar through the forever vastness of the blue.
A cage compared to
the sky, is a fishbowl, that makes their wild eyes, dead.

Hi Carolyn,
Thank you and yes I did just write it as I posted it on your site.
You know, the plight of pet birds is very near and dear to my heart.
After a lifetime involved with animal rescue/rights, Birds are one of the most misunderstood, neglected, abused, disposed of, and tortured animals that I have seen. The meer captivity of them is afterall an abuse in itself, if one contemplates it for more than a moment.
Thanks again.
