Longing For Freedom

I don't attend the circus
it could leave a person nervous
for they have animals in cages
this has been happening for ages
the barker tries to pull you in
when they abate the untamed in the den
with euphony they do recite
to some it is a delight
when I was little though not in shock
vividly I did block
I avoid places where they exploit
this method of adroit

I have never liked circuses or zoos for this reason. Nice one.

Thanks Victor. Your comment is appreciated. I love animals but not in cages. I always hate when they show the TV commercials with the abused animals. Thanks again for reading :)
