Animals

A poem about our mistreatment

Animals

We catch them
We cage them
We abuse them
We enslave them

Animals
They should be our friends
We treat them worse than enemies
Its time the zoos all end

We stick them with our needles
For the benefit of few
We hunt them till they almost gone
And then we say who knew

Animals
They should be our friends
We treat them worse than enemies
Its time the zoos all end

The research labs are full
Of pain and fear and hurt
For skin creams and fragrance bars
So skinny girls can flirt

Animals
They should be our friends
We treat them worse than enemies
Its time the zoos all end

We shoot them dead
Then hang them on our walls
Its not for food or nourishment
Just to prove we have big balls

Animals
They should be our friends
We treat them worse than enemies
Its time the zoos all end

Running free out in the wild
Is where they all should be
To share the planet with us all
For us and them are free

Animals
They should be our friends
We treat them worse than enemies
Its time the zoos all end

We catch them
We cage them
We abuse them
We enslave them

Who really are
