Fashion Minds to Bloodlessness
CLARE ROSENFIELD
So long as Mother Earth is offered blood Instead of tears of sorrow for the pain That men of 'peace' have wreaked on her again By daily spitting bones upon her mud;
So long as babes as innocent as Christ,
All creatures God-endowed upon this earth
Are promised certain death right from their birth, Determined to be hooked or clubbed or sliced;
So long our work for warless life's waste,
For tongues which chew on victims call in vain To man to halt a race all deem insane While tyrannized by such a thing as taste.
Jain Education International
Let Nature fill our cup with fruit and grain And fashion minds to bloodlessness again.
