HOUND NO LONGER HAUNTED



The hound was haunted

by the hind he had hunted.

Over the months God

to him hinted

that he should no longer

hunt any harts

nor hunt any hinds..

Now he, the hound, no

longer hunts

and so by hinds is

no longer

haunted.







DESTINY'S MOTHER



Destiny's sire

is desire.

Destiny's mother

is heartfire.

TEACHER STARS



Clouds of emotion

have blown away

One sees and hears

the teacher stars



FOR CALVES ALONE



Cows' milk God

made for calves

The udders

of the mudders

for their babes alone

and the little calf

considers it an elixir

when he receives

mother's love

as he licks her





ANATIFEROUS



Oh anatiferous

mother duck

her presence

is ever

to her babies good luck

                



BEAR RIGHTS



The 19th Century

Maine man.. was trophy seeking

and blasted away at the brown bear

.. who had eaten so many blueberries

his stolen flesh tasted like bluebearies



And in his next life the Maine man

was a brown bear hiding

from the rifletoting stalkers



Now he has once again

achieved the privilege of

human birth..

and works to protect bears

and their bushes of blueberry





HINDUS AND MUSLIMS



Hindus eat no cow.

Muslims eat no pig.

Cows wish Muslims to

  become Hindu.

Pigs wish Hindus to

  become Muslims.



Those who eat no animals..

are obedient to the

dharma of many paths.

Hound No Longer Haunted

protector of animals,
the environment, and
our health)

Chrissie Hynde has used her music and fame to advance the cause of animals .. she has been a non animal eater since high school. She lives sometimes in Akron Ohio, sometimes in the UK

Years ago a Snuffy Smith cartoon showed an old couple coming out.. to the yard.. what do you want for dinner Pa.. chicken or pork.. and the frightened chicken points to the pig and vice versa.
