Shine A Light On Slavery

We share the Earth with beautiful creatures 
People and animals of all kinds, in all areas of the world. 
We differ in appearance…but share a common problem: 
We are slaves to abuse and cruelty. 
  
Though many souls are kind and pure 
Evil shadows them. 
We often say we care enough 
But efforts cease to follow. 
  
Domestically, all fit the bill 
Held against their will, at any costs 
People and animals treated as property, with no choice… 
Cruelty and Abuse. 
The acts of slavery. 
  
We must shine a light on slavery. 
No human should be treated as less than equal 
No animal should be physically harmed 
No creature should be starved or forced to struggle 
All should be free. 
  
Many who harm one another have harmed animals 
Noticing one can help prevent the other 
If you stand up, you can be a hero 
No one else needs to suffer. 
  
Evaluate the situation that stands before you 
The more you learn, the more you can help 
Let others know, so you can save another. 
Less slavery in our world.
