The silencing of everyday Evil

 

No rodeos.

No bull ‘fights.’

No animal circuses.

 

No horse ‘races.’

No betting

to bleed.

 

No fox-hunting.

No badger ‘culling.’

No ‘vermin’ murdering.

 

No shoppers

at live animal

‘markets.’

 

Fewer torturers

in laboratories.

More vegans.

 

More broken hearts

beginning

to crack open.

 

The earth at rest.

Clean air

over China.

 

Lobsters safe

now the boats

are tied up.

 

Shy elk

on Oregon beaches

in plain sight.

 

The croaking

…of endangered

toads.

 

The tentative

dawning

of a new Sanity.

 

Several reasons

to be

cheerful.

 

(Much work

yet

to do.)
