Seen on the news today how animals
Are being treated
By the cruellest animal of all
And how the cruelty is meted
Dogs are dumped in the street
Puppies they are too
Crying for help and an owner to meet
But scared of me and you
Some are beaten and starved extreme
By the twisted and sick
Why these people are never seen
They must have hearts of brick
Kittens and cats are treated this way
Growing feral at times
Left out on the coldest of days
No-one sees the signs
People shouldn’t own pets
If they can’t look after them
Needs better policing to set
So mistreatment can never happen again
Then you have private zoos
And people who keep animals wild
It’s not just the animals that lose
But future generations across the miles
When it comes to wildlife
Kids will see them only in books
On TV too they’ll be able to find
But not in the wild they’ll look
For wiped out they may be
If we continue this way
Animals wild should be free
Maybe, just maybe one day

I'm a thinker, listener, a "question's pretty much everything" type of person. A seeker of knowledge, always restless, yet seeks the calm in life.
I love writing in all forms and am in the process of completing a number of ongoing projects. I love the craft of writing and the possibilities it holds. A magic carpet through the mind. I love pretty much all creative arts, music, film and theatre the leading ones.
Born in Hertfordshire in England, my family Irish, Welsh and English, I currently reside in Edinburgh, in Scotland. I'm drawn to coastal and mountain regions where I like to go to think and draw inspiration from. Ireland is a place that's dear to me, and I try to get back to see family and friends as much as possible.
My interests are wide and broad, too many to mention here, but history, archaeology, criminology, music and film are just some of those things I love.
I hope you enjoy my ramblings on here as that's what they are really. I'll let my fingers do the ''talking...''
