Ours is a Selfless Plan
By Diana Moreton
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.

Ours is a Selfless Plan
By Diana Moreton

yes, ours is a new regime
as we battle the meat machine
the looks that we get
don't make us regret
that ours is a new regime

yes, this is a great ordeal
stopping the moo and the squeal
though angels they are
we protest from afar
yes, this is a great ordeal

yes, ours is a selfless plan
battling woman and man
beset on all sides
with unscrupulous tides
yes, ours is a selfless plan.

(In honor of all the victimized pigs and cows that ever were.)
