Upon seeing them, a smile
lights up my face.
They have endearing qualities we should embrace.
Their ecological footprint is hardly a trace…
in comparison to that of the human race.
For their rights, a mounting movement makes a case.
They have eyes and a face
akin to you and me.
Animals feel and breathe, they hear and they see,
They, too, want to know life’s sweet ecstasy.
Our conscience knows they deserve to be free.
Truth compels us to make it come to be. |
They are not
commodities for human use.
They were not put here for exploitive abuse.
Their lives have been shockingly put to misuse.
Our oppression of them has no just excuse.
Set the innocent captive animals loose.
Animal abuse
lives on every distant shore;
all kinds of horror that our souls would deplore.
We treat these love objects and friends to adore
like enemies; on which we have declared a war.
For their rights, a world’s heroes will rise to the fore. |
