Voice
For The Voiceless
So many
gods, so many creeds,
So many paths that wind and wind,
While just the art of being kind
Is all the sad world needs...
I am the voice of the voiceless:
Through me, the dumb shall speak;
Till the deaf world's ear be made to hear
The cry of the wordless weak.
From the street, from cage and kennel,
From jungle and stall the wail
Of my tortured kin proclaims the sin
Of the mighty against the frail...
For love is the true religion,
And love is the law of sublime;
And all that is wrought, where love is not
Will die at the touch of time...
Oh, shame on the mothers of mortals
Who have not stopped to teach
Of the sorrow that has no speech...
The same Power formed the sparrow
That fashioned man- the king;
The God of the whole gave the living soul
To furred and to feathered things...
And I am my brother's keeper,
And I will fight his fight;
And speak the word for beast and bird
Till the world shall set things right.
Ella
Wheeler Wilcox
"If
we are trespassing, so were the soldiers who broke down the gates of
Hitler's death camps;
If
we are thieves, so were the members of the Underground Railroad who
freed the slaves of the South;
And
if we are vandals, so were those who destroyed forever the gas
chambers of Buchenwald and Auschwitz."
