I wish I could turn a blind eye.
I wish I didn’t see the pain.
I wish my heart was cold as ice, never to feel again.
The torture in this world kills me.
Burns me down to my core.
The pain and suffering they feel, something many go through
Every day, feeling the horror.
Their bodies broken, beat down and in anguish,
Their screams unheard, their whimpering ignored,
While their humans languish with the hate in their souls.
What I wouldn’t give to scoop up all those creatures,
Heal their wounds and then their hearts.
What I wouldn’t give to show them all
What it’s like to be loved.
How a tender touch feels.
A warm, soft bed.
A joyous laugh.
Why must humans destroy
What nature has made so pure?
Why must humans punish
Animals for being what they are?
Why must animals suffer at the hands of
Man at all?
If you believe in God,
Then why must you advocate
For the death of His creatures?
Even the ones you claim
That man has made?
I wish I could turn a blind eye.
I wish I couldn’t see the pain.
I wish I could be more like you.
But I can’t.
Because if I was more like you,
Their suffering would never end.
