To Those In Denial
Mortal worlds are no place for spirits like me to dwell; I am not meant for them; I have always been…a different soul. The womb begets many beings; I am not all that different from you, but, I recognize my sisters and brothers. Despite fur, feathers and fins; all come from the same soul and womb; God did not create Earth to give birth to idiots! But, man insists on acting like one by denying his own siblings, because of fur, feathers and fins.
Sentience is not a right to destroy other lives, but, most, seem to believe that it is. In less than two centuries; man has destroyed most of the Earth and her children; yet Man has the audacity to call his siblings…”dumb animals”! Fur, feathers and fins never did so much damage to their Mother’s body; as mankind has done. I have to ask…who really are the “dumb animals” on the planet?
I am not like the others; I have always known that all animals have souls.
Mortal worlds are a place of persecution for me as, I watch my siblings’ abuse and slaughter one another; to those in denial, it’s time you awoke!
