If you fail to prepare... prepare to fail


They are the devoured,
The blinded,
The maimed,
The dis-armed,
The trampled,
The lamed.
They died freezing,
Blown apart,
Drowned,
Un-famed,
These helpless victims,
Silent,
And unnamed

I hope that people will come away from this poem knowing that animals don't have a voice on what happens to them. This is to raise awareness on the topic of animal abuse.

I agree! And rhyme makes it even better. Nice poem.

Well I wanted it to be short, its to sort of get to the point. Not many people and organizations see that animals have an impact. And the shorter they are, the louder and more questionable they can become.

I love it! Some people might think it's too short, but I think it's perfect. The last line brought the whole thing together.
