A Mary T. Hoffman Commentary from All-Creatures.org

 

"Joyful Curmudgeon" An oxymoron?
No! I see all the beauty of God's creation and I'm joyful.  At the same time, I see all the suffering and corruption going on in the world, and feel called to help expose and end it so that we may have true peace and compassion.

 


International Respect for Chickens Day – 4 May 2009
By Mary T. Hoffman

Here’s what I wrote for today:

Chickens
Mary T. Hoffman
(Written for International Respect for Chickens Day – 4 May 2009)

Have you noticed how chickens are maligned
By those who are spiritually blind?
Sociopaths with low self-worth
Use God’s creatures in twisted “mirth.”

The time draws near when those who treat
Our feathered friends as food to eat
Will suffer from widespread disease –
A plague will bring them to their knees.
 
It’s later than most people think;
We hover on the very brink.
For cruelty, results accrue
And payments are long overdue.
Pandemics are a given
Unless the world goes Vegan!
