Save the Innocent Hearts

Location

To change one thing in this world,

one thing big or small,

is a hard question to answer---

what if I changed it all?

What would happen then?

Could all the answers be mine?

if I had that little power,

like some god divine.

Looking across the world,

as music thrums in my ears,

I think hard over the question

and what broke my heart this year.

If I had any kind of choice,

of things to change in the recent past,

I’d save all the innocent animals

from their abuse: so hard and fast.

Little things so innocent and small---

frail in the hands of us---

that some sick people break like toys

it’s horrible and ridiculous!

Of course, the circle of life

should still flow on,

and sometimes accidents happen,

that will not be changed or suddenly be gone,

but the pointless evil deaths

inflicted upon sweet creatures

is unacceptable and has no “best”

in any twisted feature.

So if I had a choice

and my words had more pull,

I’d save every innocent creature

no animal’s life will seem null.

There will be no pointless killing

or abuse of naive things---so sweet

They have feelings, thoughts and hearts

and they weren’t put here to be beat.
