To Action
for 9 billion animals killed by factory farming?
Where do I find enough anger
to stop people who torture animals in labs?
Where do I find enough patience
to explain my compassion?
Where do I find enough hope
to persist in reaching out?
Where do I find enough strength
to reply calmly to jokes?
Where do I find the will
to think and to act beyond myself
and not be crushed by the weight
of my newly opened heart?
