I Shall Never
By Anonymous
An Animal Rights Poem from All-Creatures.org
All of God's creatures have rights, a fact that most people don't seem to recognize.
This includes both human and non-human animals, but not all of them can speak for themselves.
I Shall Never
By Anonymous
Escape, I shall never
From this cage I've been placed in
I shall never feel the sunshine
Or the grass beneath my feet
I shall never lift my wings
Or protect and feed my young
I shall never, I shall never
I shall never voice my song
Be free, I shall never
From these chains you hold me in
I shall never taste clean air
Or in cool shallows swim
Forever I'll stay up to thigh
In my own shit and here I'll die
Before ever voicing my life
In the form of this song
Free I shall never be
Nature I shall never see
Loved I will never feel
Then I'll die and become a meal
No I shall never, I shall never, voice my song
And tomorrow from this Earth I will be gone
Go on to It
Feels Like It's Me
