Placed In Cages

Once there was a boy who loved animals,
every kind of animal,
it didn't matter; he loved them all!
He had rabbits, pigeons, hamsters, and a raccoon.
The boy kept them well-fed,
cleaned their cages every day
and was sure they were happy,
so, that made him happy too.
One day, he was watching the news
and saw children taken from their mothers
and placed in cages.
He saw their misery and heard their cries.
They were not happy in their cages,
and he cried too.
He loved his pets,
but he also kept them in cages.
And now he knew they weren't happy at all,
for like people, they need to be free.
And so he released his animals
to an animal sanctuary and destroyed their cages.
He had learned, "one doesn't cage, what one loves."
