Being Veggie :900:

Here I am.
From top to toe
A meat-free human
Don't ya know 

People asked me
Why the shoes?
I do not eat them.
I'd often muse.. 

But now I'm older
And life's moved on
With larger issues
To dwell upon 

I'll soon be forty
Years a veg.
No highland castle
Or trust fund hedge 

My account is clear.
My conscience too
But still with plenty
More to do 

It thrills my soul
The human-race
Denies nutrition
With a face 

A greater cause
Now lies before
The victims no longer
Just legs of four 

The truth is out.
Our selfish ways
May just have numbered
All our days.. 

And who'd have thought
To cure our blindness
We must return
To love and kindness.
