    Those who work for plant rights
    don't parse parsley
    nor bomb poppies
    nor purchase antipeople papers.
    They plant papayas,
    and peppers.
    Their pulpit is the popular*
    not the papal but poplars.
    * not in the sense of ephemeral fame
    but what the people want.

Eternal Spirit of the chainless Mind!
Brightest in dungeons, Liberty! thou art,
For there thy habitation is read more

Eternal Spirit of the chainless Mind!
Brightest in dungeons, Liberty! thou art,
For there thy habitation is the heart--
The heart which love of thee alone can bind;
And when thy sons to fetters are consign'd--
To fetters and damp vault's dayless gloom,
Their country conquers with their martyrdom.
- Lord Byron (George Gordon Noel Byron),
