Poem
We as humans say that our love is the thing that puts us above the rest of our living world Our love makes us great and kind and all others must respect our kind Were better than the birds the cats the horses The beavers, the dolphins, eagles and the porpoises Because of our love Our Great Compassion our love But let me ask you this Have you ever heard of chicken cats or fish Having a war over something as pitiful as oil Polluter or air water and soil killing much underwater life as effectively as stabbing with a knife But no our love marks us with distinction Well before man and meteors there was no extinction We as men have killed many Only to make room for a JCPenny All of us earth strangers Are the only species to cause another to be endangered We pollute the land on which we live always taking never to give And we men say that we love Where is the love in the kill just to have blood to fill on our hands as we rob our lands of animals through hunting "i am ready for love" says India Arie but we as a species are not at all ready " all of the joy and the pain" All pain and no joy as we stop the blood pumping through veins We have caused the shed to shed acidic tears we never comfort a childs tears We who have such love came to such discrimaination That we needed the Emancipation Proclamation We caused a great man's assassination what need do animals have of segregation did love create the gun a tool to kill our brothers son did love create the knife a tool to take are fathers life We humans may have love but we also have hate and no animal has that
