Remember a time you were suffering
and your pain was too much to bear?
Not fair!
How you wished that someone would help you?
How you hoped that someone would care?
Well, the animals we exploit every day,
their pain is also too much to bear.
Not fair!
Now it’s your chance to help those
who can’t help themselves.
Now is your chance to step up and care.
Think of all the suffering you could allay
by choosing to be vegan and leading the way.
Be bold, be strong, and save the day!
And stand up against all this suffering!
