Voice of the Voiceless, Animal Rights Poem by Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Animal Rights and alleviation of animal sufferings are the concern of great minds and noble souls.
"Voice of the Voiceless" is a poem by the American Poet Ella Wheeler Wilcox (1850 – 1919).
Ella Wheeler was so sensitive about alleviation of animal sufferings that she was a dedicated animal rights campaigner in her day. She was way ahead of her time. And this marvelous poem speaks for itself.
The poem starts with these amazing lines:
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 street, from cage, and from kennel,
From jungle and stall, the wail
Of my tortured kin proclaims the sin
Of the mighty against the frail.
