The Junto assignment this week is to "Give space to the unheard voices of animals."
I sometimes hear dogs in the neighbourhood complaining on cold mornings.
This morning I was having a conversation with my partner that brought to mind the unhappiness of animals and how we live in an area characterised by industrial agriculture.
For example, nearby there are hundreds of sheds that surround the largest chicken-processing facility in the southern hemisphere.
So my mind started pondering giving a voice for animals and I wrote lyrics, then constructed a song.
