Array ( [sid] => 29021 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Stolen Innocence [time] => 2003-12-09 19:53:06 [hometext] => This isn't necessarily about pets, but more animals in general and the cruelty they must endure. [bodytext] => Brutality inflicted upon the innocent,
electrocution, isolation,
torture, suffocation,
bodies torn apart
from head to toe.

Sea creatures, land creatures,
trapped and killed,
boiled and beaten,
for a snack,
for fun.

Their lives carry on
in dark, dreary stalls,
cowering in fear,
confined,
facing a disgusting hell.

Fear, that wretched feeling,
resides in humans,
and in ducks, cows,
pigs, cats,
fish.

To be born and raised
to die,
to be slaughtered
and served on a plate,
is a miserable life, indeed.

Mothers, fathers, babies,
animals are nearly human,
animals all
live, grow, think,
and feel.

Feelings of the innocent
must include,
pain and fear,
hopelessness and despair,
a lack of comprehension.

Love and comfort
are offered to children
when troubled with fear,
but animals of the world
are forced to suffer.

Surely, all they desire,
that same love-
not cruel experiments
or beatings on farms-
just warmth and comfort.

Animals cannot speak,
we must speak for them,
when we stay silent,
millions more suffer and die,
never knowing love. [comments] => 1 [counter] => 219 [topic] => 29 [informant] => Vampy [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => PetPoems )

this was very good and true although the same thing happens to humans I think we should fix those problems before we deal with animals. good poem though.
