Deb Wilson Poet Rhyme

Justice For the Four Legged Ones

They cannot speak for themselves you know.
Although in certain ways they try.
I get enraged when I see them harmed.
Some hurt them but I don't know why.

These creatures bring our planet joy.
Their rightful place is here on earth. 
Though cruelty festers in dark hearts.
We should be humbled by their birth.

Fascinating to watch and observe.
Out in the wild or in our home.
There's so much we could learn from them.
Even those that go out to roam.

When I see some human acting evil
kicking an innocent creature or worse
makes me want to inflict pain;
give them a beating, shout and curse.

I'll do what I can for animal rights.
Someone has to be their voice.
We need to speak up strong and clear.
Justice for animals is my choice

Eric Boddie September 10, 2015 at 8:06 PM I couldn't agree with you more....innocent animals are meant to adore....but the flip side is if one bites me....with my reaction, you might feel I have no humanity....but I will only harm the animal trying to harm me....unless its an insect or snake, I kill those instantly....;)
