Find Strength Through the Animals

My mind in total shambles,
My heart broken in two,
My body weak from the stress
My relationships affected too

The tears that I never used to cry
flow almost every day,
The world I used to dream about
has completely gone away

In its place, a cold hard world
has been developing b4 my eyes,
A place that hates & hurts & kills
and is indifferent to the cries

The cries of all the innocent
the defenseless who mean no harm,
The cries for help & nurturing
the cries of pure alarm

They can’t speak words we’ll understand
but still they let us know,
Just look into their eyes, you’ll see
how we’ve been hurting them so.

It makes me grieve from head to toe
over the pain critters go through,
And still they love & trust us
wanting only love from me & you.

It is for their sake alone
that i push past all the grief
That I stand as tall as I can
and hold fast to my belief

That the innocent shall have their day
and be free of pain at last,
It is that day I live for
I just pray that it comes fast.

In the meantime I will persevere
and hope you do the same,
Keep saving ‘one at a time’
help out, don’t pass the blame.

Don’t sit and dwell on the evil
it will permeate your very soul,
Instead go love an animal
make Love your primary goal

Fight hard for tougher laws
and for enforcement, harder still,
Don’t be intimidated by the naysayers
they do nothing & never will.

Be the ONE that makes a difference
even if you think it is so small,
For it has always been just ONE
who inspires change, after all.
