I would not share a poem like that with a class. I only sent it to you because I get tired of posting most things to the thread and you are a teacher. However, the fact that PETA had the good idea of having a mothers' day poetry contest does not mean that the poets represent PETA particularly. They just wrote poems and submitted them. Are you permitted to discuss animal rights generally in your classroom? Would you be permitted to show a film that was pro animal rights, or go on a field trip exposing children to different views of animal rights?

Avarice by Charlie Morales A phoenix that won’t rise from the ashes, because the flames or cruelty scorched too harshly, suffering at the hands of malevolent brutes, hear their shriek, their cry, their plea. A trail of bruised and battered corpses, lead to a vault replete with greenbacks doused in red, the scales of justice remain unbalanced, all of this to keep the populace fed. A vulgar display of power, a right we do not have, looking for something to eat? find something you don’t have to stab.
