I've gone to church every week all my life, and taken quite an active part as I can. When I was still one of the Sunday School class we did a yearly service to mark the anniversery of the sunday school, usually based on a bible story as you might guess, but one of the ones I was unable to attend, was one the older kids, including me, Becca C and Alex, were asked to write a five minute talk about something that was wrong with the world.
I've known for a long time that the company of Proctor and Gamble, makers of Pringles, Purina, Iams, Ariel, Lenor and Heads and Sholders brands, test their soap based products on animals, particularly dogs. They keep these animals in appaling conditions and for my 5 minute talk for sunday school I decided to write on this. But instead of writing a long talk on how they should not test on animals or keep them in such poor conditions, I decided to write two poems, which I thought would get the attention of the congregation and make them think. I think I've managed to lose these poems now, which is quite a sad thing for me because I enjoyed writing the poems and hope that they had some effect on the people.
I've already said that I couldn't be at the anniversery service for that year, because I had dance competitions, which I had to make a priority (much to the anger of Angela, the sunday school teacher), so Josh read it in church instead of me.
