gentle creatures
when we first saw them
we wanted them for our own
to love and to care for till death do us part
what ever happened to the love that was there
what happened to treating them like family
do we hurt the ones we love?
do we deliberately do everything to make their lives miserable?
why torture the things we love?
why turn gentle creatures into monsterous beasts?
they are ours to care for
we took them away from their homes
the least we can do is treat them with respect and love
or else why call us people if we act like animals?
