EARTHKEEPING NEWS A NEWSLETTER OF THE NORTH AMERICAN COALITION FOR CHRISTIANITY AND ECOLOGY Volume Three, Number Five May/June 1994 Predators Roadkill. Not much thought for the Creatures Heavy or small. There, there and there. Bulldoze. No questions about the critters Killed or surviving. Bulldoze. Push Acres and acres of habitat Down. Completely down. Blacktop. No knowledge, no notice of the Land before, Of its specialness of place, Its sculptured store. Roll and seal Geocide and biocide. Slaughterhouses. The end of the line after a life of Torture In crammed animal factories Where no movement is allowed, Stress is gross, And meals are drugs. Meat. Meat for millions. The Wolf We fault for taking a lamb. We instead, seize the flock, The wolf, The land beneath their feet, The chase, The chance to escape, and The place to play, The place to rest. The Wolf Is not us. by Annemarie Askwith, IHM Sault Ste. Marie, MI Home     Table of Contents
