Animals feel love, empathy, and pain;
traits that I have witnessed over the years.
Dogs have so much love it's hard to contain;
they revel in your joys and mourn your tears,
and as your best friend, they console your fears.
I've seen my cat react when I'm depressed;
snuggling up to my face, she comforts me.
And when she senses, I'm worried or stressed,
she soulfully lays her head on my knee;
her empathy displayed for all to see.
I saw a bear, its leg chafed by a chain,
and I could feel its suffering and fear.
People laughed when it glowed and roared in pain;
its plight broke my heart, and I shed a tear,
for the agony that bear felt was clear.
Animals share many feelings we do
time has confirmed this through observation.
But we've never given them their fair due;
starting with the story of creation,
they've been subjected to subjugation.
