Respecting Animal Species
Using reasoning to understand how we treat other species
And what we see means their numbers are rapidly decreasing
As humanity with its limited understanding keep feasting
On animals farmed for our greedy carnivorous desires
But suggest serving their pets up on a platter
Wagging tail, big sad eyes does it really matter
Is there anymore wrong in eating animals
That spend their days lucking their balls like dogs and cats seem to do
Mind you we say they are dumb but it's us running around cleaning up their poo
Are they really as dumb as we think
As they sit watch confused as we choke on their faeces that stinks
So what defines our belief that its wrong to eat dogs and cats
In the orient it's an actual fact that they see nothing wrong with this
Same comparison can be made between fish
Like why it's different to consume cod, sprats and anchovies
To eating koi carp or goldfish
And don't ask if fish careless
With a two second memory they were not blessed.
Where do I stand, well I think its wrong
Eating meat is a swansong or our physical health
That eating animals is no different to eating ourselves
Cannibalistic and depraved the way we choose to behave
Eating other species everyday
Like we have the right but we seemed to have lost sight
That these like us are all God's creatures
And we should use these words to teach us
That as omnivores we do not need to eat meat
Whether it be dog, cat, cow or sheep
We need to learn to respect all other species.
