This is a beautiful uTube sponsored by PETA2 (the youth activist branch of PETA). They also put out a tee shirt on the "Ode to Freedom" theme. Inspired by the concept, I made my own Ode. It is not a classical ode but it is done in metric verse.
An Ode to Freedom
Soft grass upon the hillside grows,
it blooms in gold and green
The worms below will till the soil,
all life on earth to feed
The mother cow takes sweetness in,
to meet her baby’s need
No grasping hand to steal her milk,
no predatory deed
From worm to cow to calf to me,
all creatures may be free
When we who take so heedlessly
allow all life to be
In concert and, by divine right,
exist in Liberty.
