Give Them A Chance

You say you’re right, that they don’t mind
After all, they can’t cry.
They can’t talk in ways you understand…
Apparently, no one can.
Animals have feelings too, they have souls like us!
If they didn’t, tell me sir, how would they show us love?
Kisses and hugs, though not like ours, they give to anyone,
They don’t judge for what we’re like, only by our love.
So, please sir, I beg of you
To take in a cat or dog.
Live with them for a month or two,
And you will fall in love.
Then see, my dear kind sir, if you can hurt them now,
And not have pain swell up inside as you hear a pained whimper or meow.
Animals have feelings too, they have souls like us.
Give them a chance, I beg of you, to show you their love.
