Living Soul
By Mary T. Hoffman
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.

Living Soul
By Mary T. Hoffman

Jesus teaches us to pray “Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.” (Matthew 6:10)

Let’s hope and pray 
That soon one day
All will refuse
To eat, abuse, 
A living soul – 
This is my goal.

It is God’s will 
That I fulfill
This law of life,
Not just for some,
But every one.
I must not shirk,
But do God’s work.
