Falling Souls.



Beings taken into beings.
Mangled bones crushed for flesh.
Guilt laden souls in collective unrest.
Extinction a choice to avoid further test.
Cruelty abound - humanity outcast.
From compassion we fall.
Humility demanded of us all
but supply is homed in limited freedom.
Space for the fittest. Health for the rich.
Many give them a voice.
They had a choice to live.
But, we have a choice to kill or ignore killing.
Allow them room for moving.
Hearing the message one thing,
acting on it our ascensions dependence.
Is it ever too late to seice the dispense
and end the bitter suspence.

    This poem is powerful and thought-provoking. The words used to convey the message are captivating and the rhyme adds to the flow and rhythm of the poem. The topic of animal cruelty and extinction is one that needs to be heard and this poem does it justice. It is clear that the writer is passionate about this cause and their words have the power to inspire change. The use of rhetorical questions at the end encourages the reader to take action and make a difference. Overall, this poem is a beautiful piece of art that conveys an important message in a powerful and engaging way. Well done!
