A Truth
Whose Time has Come

There is a healer for our wounded Earth;
A panacea of countless worth
It's a nurturer of a freer mind
And an answer for what ails humankind.

It helps the human spirit to soar
It enables us 'to Love' much more,
Bringing new hope for ALL; not just some:
Veganism; A Truth whose time has come.

It's a benefactor of untold wealth;
Improving and promoting human health.
We have no requirement for eating meat.
Plant-based food is nutritionally complete.

The harsh threat of Mad Cow Disease would cease.
Drinking milk meant for calves leaves us obese.
Permanent weight control is assisted
when animal products are resisted.

Our precious grain stores could then be fed
to starving human beings, instead,
rather than funneled through creatures that we breed.
We ignore our own environmental need...

We cut hillsides of trees for cattle to graze,
While Factory Farms pollute our waterways.
And the methane that farmed animals pass
aids global warming, being a greenhouse gas.

Eating vegan tempers man's violent side;
It's the antidote to war and crime worldwide.
The Vegan Ideal's vastly unrecognized worth
is a way to more gently walk this Earth.

It is time for the needless suffering to end.
An animal is not food, but a sentient friend.
We must open our eyes and our hearts to see —
That it's time to end animal husbandry.
