"Live In Peace"

Live In Peace

You wound me with your words - dirty

You scathe me with your unknowing attacks - stupid

I need something you do not understand - knowledge

I need something you cannot give - love

My mind and soul are not yours - to decide

My body is not yours - to cage – to ignore

I was never something you - should give away

I am something you should have thought about

I am a rabbit - a ten year commitment

I am something to love and embrace

I live - I die - I want to do so in peace

"Rabbits"

RABBITS

I don’t deserve to be bought because I’m young and cute
I don’t deserve to be tossed because you’re bored and want something new
I don’t deserve to live in the cold
I don’t deserve to be euthanized because I’m old
I don’t deserve to be bred for you to make money
I don’t deserve to be fed only carrots because you watch Bugs Bunny
I don’t deserve to die from neglect
I don’t deserve to be thought of as a disposable pet
I don’t deserve to be left in my cage
I don’t deserve to be hurt by your rage
I don’t deserve to be picked up by the ears
I don’t deserve to be ignored - you can’t see my tears
I don’t deserve to be thrown in the trash
I don’t deserve for my fur to be tied up in mats
I don’t deserve to be fed food that makes me sick
I don’t deserve to be raised in ignorance

I deserve love, compassion and kindness
I deserve a home that is real, forever and safe
I deserve to live without fear, sickness and hate
I deserve nothing less than you yourself deserve

I need you to know how much I need you
And with time you will need me too

Moon Bunny

As I have mentioned, only briefly in the past, a friend and I founded a rabbit rescue about 4 years ago. Naturally this has spawned several creative endeavors involving bunnies - poetry, graphics, logos, crafts and otherwise. One of my favourite and also one of the most recent is the 'Moon Bunny'.




I created this graphic in order to help raise money for New Moon Rabbit Rescue. It can be purchase on a variety of merchandise on the rescue's Cafepress Store and Zazzle Store. 100% of the proceeds raised (from Moon Bunny and all other graphics) go to the rescue - directly towards the care of the rabbits!!
