Maybe They Are

Human beings seem to have no connection 
to animals, unless those animals 
used to be you. Did you ever wonder 
where animals came from? Did you 
ever think, once upon a time, you may 
have been one? 

I'm talking about your genetic code; it never 
enters your mind that it was all a part of your soul. 
Your mouth, nose and feet all need water 
and something to eat. Wouldn't it be 
something to see, if you were first an 
animal before becoming a human being? 

Would you eat and kill them like you 
do now? What a thought. It just makes say 
me wow! I think that would be a great change, 
if being and animal was once your name. 

Do you think that it could be true? Look at 
animals looking at you. Ask yourself if what 
you see could be what they are going to be? 
You would then show more love for them, if you 
knew they would become your future kin. 

You would not eat of them, out of respect-- 
knowing that it would have your future family-- 
I'll take that bet. Yes, they could be part of your 
family tree, as you become their history. 

I remember reading in the Bible, when it said 
not to worry about the food. God will take care of 
you. Look at animals: no hospitals, doctors or 
stores, and, for the most part, no politics or wars. 

This thought must come to end; somewhere in 
the middle, animals may have found a friend. 
However, it's just something we need 
to think about. Like a door, you can come in or 
you can go out.
