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 want to be free.
And so, he released his animals
to an animal sanctuary and destroyed their cages.
"one doesn't cage what one loves."
