Mountain Lion -- by D.H. Lawrence Climbing through January snow, into Lobo Canyon Dark grow the spruce-trees, blue is the balsam, water sounds ...still unfrozen, and the trail is still evident. Men! Two men! Men! The only animal in the world to fear! They hesitate. We hesitate. They have a gun. We have no gun. Then we all advance, to meet. Two Mexicans, strangers, emerging out of the dark and snow ...and inwardness of the Lobo valley. What are they doing here on this vanishing trail? What is he carrying? Something yellow. A deer? Que tien, amigo? ...Leon--- He smiles foolishly, as if he were caught doing wrong And we smile, foolishly, as if we didn't know. He is quite gentle and dark-faced. It is a mountain lion, A long, long slim cat, yellow like a lioness. Dead. He trapped her this morning, he says, smiling foolishly. Lift up her face, Her round, bright face, bright as frost. Her round, fine fashioned head, with two dead ears; And stripes in the brilliant frost of her face, sharp, fine dark ...rays, Dark keen, fine rays in the brilliant frost of her face, Beautiful dead eyes. Hermoso es! They go out towards the open; We go on to the gloom of Lobo. And above the trees I found her lair, A hole in the blood-orange brilliant rocks that stick up, a little ...cave. And bones, and twigs, and a perilous ascent. So, she will never leap up that way again, with the yellow flash ...of a mountain lion's long shoot! And her bright, striped frost-face will never watch any more, ...out of the shadow of the cave in the blood-orange rock, Above the trees of the Lobo dark valley-mouth! Instead, I look out And out to the dim of the desert, like a dream, never real; To the snow of Sangre de Cristo mountains, the ice of the ...mountains of Picoris, And near across at the opposite steep of snow, green trees ...motion-less standing in snow, like a Christmas toy. And I think in this empty world there was room for me and a ...mountain lion. And I think in the world beyond, how easily we might spare a ...million or two humans And never miss them. Yet what a gap in the world, the missing white frost-face of ...that slim yellow mountain lion! |

The Greater Good We sew the eyes of monkeys Burn the skins of rabbits, Drill holes into the brains of cats, We slice into mice, Put pigs hearts into chimps, And torture and suffocate rats. We take babies from mothers Slaughter mothers whilst pregnant, Fetus' twitch on the floor. We slice throats of the conscious Take the lives of newborns Then hack them up with a saw! We decide we can hurt Any animal we choose For the 'greater good' of man Because they cannot scream out They cannot TELL ALL We arrogantly believe that we can. We cause pain to the silent For the sake of our bellies Torture and slaughter for fun We rip out hearts, Of the animals in labs Then try to 'condone' what we've done! 'Custom can resign us, to any atrocity' George Bernard Shaw rightly said, So, it seems we'll keep on Torturing and slaughtering, Till all fellow creatures are dead. - posted by meign on www.vegtalk.org |

White Lie "You can only get enough calcium by drinking milk." Dairy requires removal of calves from their mothers. Hundreds of thousands of unwanted calves are slaughtered yearly. Not Necessary! Enough calcium can be gotten from: Swiss chard, broccoli, sweet potatoes, kale, spinach (cooked), dried apricots, oranges, kiwis, raspberries & more. -- SunnysideTroll Check out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1oTGe41A8Vo https://saveourbones.com/osteoporosis-milk-myth/ https://www.healthaliciousness.com/arti ... tables.php https://www.healthaliciousness.com/arti ... fruits.php |

Check the foods individually if you REALLY are interested because oranges, for example, do not contain sufficient calcium to be useful as a source unless you eat something like 15 cups a day. The fortified foods such as tofu and orange juice have to have a good source of calcium for the concentration, which generally leads to a animal based supply.[/quote] The amount of calcium that is in a certain food is irrelevant. What matters is whether or not the human body can absorb the calcium that is present in that food. The human body can easily absorb the calcium that is present in all the foods that are mentioned in this poem. Cow's milk is for their calves. |

*NOTE: I've edited the 3 lined poem about liking orangutans and the poem that is entitled "White Lie". I then deleted the "Coffeehouse Poet" signature from them and added Sunnyside Troll's signature instead. Both characters are me anyway. I've deleted these poems from the VegTalk forum where I originally posted them. |
