For crying out loud
Due to the outcome
I was not particularly proud
For more than two centuries, election days go and come
It was a day that every pet owner has to face.You died four years ago and it was a disgrace.Since you died, I've lost more dogs than you.My heart was broken last year when I lost two.
who's up
Him
at the surface of the earth
we Humans
the components of other creatures
the birds of the air
the fishes in the sea
the beast of the field
when i die i want to come back as a dog.
i want to come into this earth as a minuscule being, crammed in tight quarters, unsure of what to think.
PSALM TWENTY SEVENTH OF CLOUDNINE. TO THE GLORIFICATION OF THE FATHER IN HEAVEN.
why can't you see the life in my eyes?
why can't you see the tears flowing down?
whe can't you be nice
why
why
why?
why can't you just hold me, and cuddle
and stroke my furr?
When I was a teen I had a rat. A white dumbo rat, with red eyes, who was blind. Her name was Fresno, like the California nightcrawlers she bore resemblance to.
Children already grown
Kisses already forgotten
Plants already flowered
Flowers already burgeoned
Your calming noisesYour soft, soothing furYou have always been there for meand I will always be there for you
The thoughtthat anyonecould hurt you…
Breaks my heart.
Love those who love you
Appreciate those who appreciate you
A dog never bites its owner
These are not events that took place very far in the past
These are obviously ongoing racial gaffes and contrasts
Where human beings are bombarded and mistreated
Tell me more about democracy
Nobody is a fool
Tell me more about dichotomy
Go ahead! I am cool
I love; I really love your voice and your dictionRecite me a poem in an unknown languageI don't give a darn about the pronunciationUndress the words; I love them when they're naked.
Pondering Caterpillars
Not ordinary small, fuzzy green ones
But big tigers with eyes all over
You would have to see or witness this to believe it
These horses were smarter than the border patrol agents
Because the smart animals avoided charging these poor migrants
Losing someone you love is the hardest thing that anyone can go through,
It's so strange to think about them being gone when they were always there for you.
Some people will never understand the love that we have for our pets,
A gentle and kind creature,
Curled up beside me.
A loyal companion,
A best friend.
An innocent being,
Sentient and kind.
Fickle felines are indifferentindependent from their hostinquisitive and leeryskittish as you approach
Feelings and closeness,are we the only onesthat romantically and lovinglytry to stick together?the vast animal kingdomcan show us howmaybe monogamously better.
Of Course Nature PLUNDERS...
And Can Be THUNDEROUS... !!!
But It’s Also... WONDROUS... !!!!!
And Is Clearly Something That Helps Us To LIVE... !!!
So To Go AGAINST That’s Clearly NOT A Wise Plan... !!!
I respect the Animal Kingdom, most live in zoo's. They reflect the creatures within me, within you. Have love for animals, but don't live like animals or you'll end up caged or shitted on in your own home.
What a beautiful day it would be
The butterflies roam free
No one to chase thee
A world without humans
Oh, what a day
it's a blessing upon us all or so we say
thickets of ivy
bathtubs of mud
a consortium of
bubbling
bleating hearts
slipping, sliding
gliding with
powers of croaking warlocks
from stick to rock--
careful, hold on,
I HEARD THE WILD
I heard the echo honk of black Canada geese, neatly parting the moonlit sky,and the melodious warning of a red winged black bird scaring his neighbors nearby.
The storm leaps around
it wanders everywhere
it runs fast like a monkey
and grabs everything around it
a banana from the tree
jessy 's umbrella and what not?
no one can control it
Dna a pattern woven through time and space
I am it’s here and now
Sacred human connection as told in the stories of old
I am the calling of my ancestors
Warm hands gliding through their coarse, black hair
Warm stares coming from their dark, endless eyes
Cold breeze sweeping through all of them, so bare
She moves so swiftly her paws kissing the ground.
Her eyes switching left and right trying to find prey.
She is pure white, fur thick and glossy nose as
black as coal and her eyes gleaming crystal blue.
Nature is my home,
it inspires me to be who I am
the outdoors is a stress reliever, a safe place.
No drama. No gossip. Just peace
Nature is a place where you are persuaded by your own thought
Sometimes it is hard to explain to people what is going on in your head,
To put into words all of these thoughts that you typically dread.
Sometimes you realize that maybe it is better to not talk about them at all,
Fierce as the tigress
Pure as lilies
There’s a fire in her eyes
Tongue like a blade yet witless
Bleeding heart that’s chaste as ice
Alligator, alligator
O hidden devil of the Everglades
Feared by many
Murderor of children
And various other small creatures
Crooked toothy smiles
Slurping in the swamps
Thundering clambering beating bumbling
Creatures
Not dainty deer in an English wood
Buffalo
Buffalo driving the prairie to mud
Drinking the streams
Tearing up the grass
Like they will be torn up
When the Light Fades
Natali Hutcheson
Hurry!
Green mountains turn to dark silhouettes
He had trouble hopping in the currents. His usual flexible fins seemed stubby in the water. He splashed and swished, flexing and relaxing his long muscles. He got no where no matter the angle.
They move without a purpose
They stop and start with the longest pause in between
I don’t have time to stop
I gotta keep moving
If I stop it’s for food
Benny’s Biography
By: Alexis Seith
im a kind and carefreey kiddo,
and my name is benny hyde.
im sory for my speling
but, you see, im only 5.
my brother-he’s in first grade
So it begins.
The temperature rises.
Everyone's running amok
Willing to do whatever it takes
To make the loudest sounds
Find the one,
Reproduce,
Die,
So the ones after me
O DOUG! my Doug! Our joyful trip is done,
The collar weather’d every task, the happiness we made was fun,
The time is near, the sobs I hear, the people all crying,
The world, a child
her mind, a chamber
for nurtouring thoughts
no creature could blame her
stained skin
with blood so pure
they crave for her veins
In search for a cure
I was born in the land of women.
Raised by wolves,
Nurtured by mother bears, fierce and strong.
A tiger, stripes a path to their past, and a future they refuse to sacrifice.
The sun shines as God approaches,He leaves a beam of light in the dark forest.The beam of light brightens to a shape of a lion.God sent him to shimmer the forest to lustre;
O Here rises the morning sun!The grass sprouts for the sunrise;The trees dance as the wind howls;Primroses and Cowslips bloom with joy.
In the Jungle, there is a mystery of darkness and wonders;
There is a war between a mighty beast and a man.
They kill for pleasure and for vengeance;
A grass-fed cow
Should not be grass-fed beef.
We should leave for the living,
The leaf.
Cows know about cows.
A cow should be the cow-chief.
A cow-herder is a cow-thief.
Doggies.
Very loyal.
They are human's prime friends.
Do not cause any harm to them.
Canines.
this in chilling remark, forget the picture, and embark on a change in circumstances, across chasms unboundable by some, unfounded by others, and wanted not for, by those in widst in the midst of nothing left on forest floor unnoticable, in this g
To you it might not seem a lot
And to you he cannot give it thought
But for every little thing you do
He owes his entire world to you.
Thick feathers protecting soft down
Feathers muddy brown reflecting sunlight
Sky’s scent absorbed in flight
Piercing eyes knowing secrets
Eggs in unstable nested in an unstable world
soft kitten fur against my baby cheek
puppies run to catch me by diaper
up high on horseback with mom behind me
kids and lambs nibble little ears
children soak up the world
I see the world in its beautyOthers see me in fear
I see the world in its graceOthers see me and sneer
Something calls me outA shriek, a scream, a screech
Am I scared of lonely?
I won’t let it take a hold or control of me
But it definitely consumes me
Frantic wings beating blindly,
Bombarding the window pane.
Beak nimbly tap tap tap tapping the glass it doesn't see,
Jewel toned chest sparkling sapphire in the sunlight.
As she looks out the window, her tail swishes.
Is this what’s become of her wishes?
This panther turned domestic
Is no less majestic
Than the vision of herself
That she left high on a shelf.
"what is the thing your are most afraid of?"
i ask
the pigs look at me and a river falls from their eyes
"life" they answered
before my next question asking them "why?"
I.
Dear Tesfaye,
I wish you didn’t have to grow up like this.
I wish there was more I could do to help.
You are only four,
still too young to fully understand.
Poverty
naked under a juniper tree
bareboned and rigid like the rocky mountains afar
feeding on the old mulch
blind and dirty
burnished hazel protuberant eyeballs dumb as marbles
dialeted as the full moon
Dear Earth,
Your rolling fields of amber grass,
Cerulean waves of primeval,
And skies painted with ripe orange, bubblegum, and perfect aubergine
Are no longer as beautiful as they once were.
A squirrel scampers across the road
Seeking adventure in a big world
Eyes bright, tail bushed, quick paws
Yet, in a flash, the pause is eternal
Perhaps a big world crushes big dreams
Dear Animals,
You’re the problem in the world.
You think that just because you can walk, talk,
And have guns, makes you better than everyone else.
All dinosaurs of the Cretaceous Empire,
There is a forest
A dim forest full of dusky trees and damp moss
Tiny critters that scuttle about
Weaving in between the roots of dying oaks and already dead birches
The forest,
its filled with trees,
and bees,
they land on the flowers and the trees.
The forests,
its filled with animals,
and rivers,
they run through the trees.
The forest,
Creatures.
Some are our pets
Who do deserve our love.
Adopt them to demonstrate that.
Creatures.
Ever more
I gaze upon the Everglades
Ever more
They will be no more
Evermore
I see the poison in my veins
Ever more
I will be no more
Those who say that love is blind
have never seen the way that your eyes sparkle
when Margaret crawls into your lap
and starts to purr.
It is an honor to be so trusted
by an animal with so little trust to give
It's nice outside
I might not hide
Away I go
I'll buy a box of mysteries
Maybe filled with histories
I wouldn't know
Happened to skip a meal today
Saw the bills I forgot to pay
Away I go
O'er the mountain,
Under gray sky,
An eagle calls,
I hear his cry.
O'er the mountain,
Doves mourn and cry,
Sit and listen,
As they all sigh.
Writing, the power that masters the beast
That turns into something easy to caress
Into a bliss of doubt
Of fondness, just like love.
Every day he does the same.He lounges around, he gets nearbut then goes away.I always wonder why he doesn’t stay.
In my neck of the woodsWe hide our fears In the trees aboveThat spout our stories for usIn the forested road. With antlers and paws With general retributionIn our own causes. We remember the waterBut are led to no whereBecause we wonder yet trembl
My dear old home, how we have wronged you. So
Blinded by green greed, while your green turned grey.
“Their safety is sound” we spoke without woe,
Have you ever
Stared into the
Darkening shadows of the night,
Searching for the secrets
That hold nature together?
Have you ever
Felt it staring back?
Those that dare to try
Since when did a lack of opposable thumbs become a death sentence?
Abused dogs, grilled cows, and fur-coated chinchillas
All want the same the thing
We take that dream of living away from them
7:53
The door closes behind me and I slip in,
Unnoticed, hopefully,
And granted free.
Late.
They walk in late.
"Sign the clipboard."
Stamp of feet as the herd obeys.
Have you ever wondered what happens to you when you die?
Where do we go? Do we begin to fly?
Some say the world glows, some say you lose all your clothes
Of the many things wrong,
I find this one to have a grip on me, strong
We need reform
Let us perform
A societal change
Refute the strange
Without my majestic horse to ride
I'm filled with the lonliness of a starless night sky
So I disappear into the sunset only sadness at my side
Never again able to enjoy the beauty of starlight
Puppy
Red Bone Coon Hound
Sweet with soft scarlett fur
Curiosity of a cat
Canine
Loyal
Best companion
Highly tuned sense of smell
Courageously defending me

Have you ever thought about what goes behind making your soap
Have you considered the methods of how its made
For animals, there is no hope
They just want someone to come to their aid
I am from laughter, joyfulness, and a caring family,
from my very first furry friend on Christmas morning,
to my 10th birthday at Disneyland with friends.
Have you ever heard the mockingbird sing?
For the first few seconds of its sweet song, I always believe it to be a Cardinal
Lacy trails of light shroud her in golden fog,
Feline figure illuminated, nature’s sunny spotlight dancing softly over her
Tiny paws stretch curiously along the shadow cast by the open window.
Why is it that I can sense a snake in the grass and will run in the opposite direction
but when I felt you inching closer and closer to me I watched you like a National Geographical special, a child mesmerized by the carnival rides
The road so long and winding,
The rocks beneath my feet watching,
I kick a rock,
I watch it roll; then it stops,
And then I keep on walking.
Keep going.
I dare you.
But I can't fool you.
My children will starve
And be excited to see trees
At the rate
That everything is disappearing.
Prepare for fishless oceans
The way that the sun sets and the sky looks as if it’s on fire,
Sitting on the edge looking down endless rows of trees and wanting to be even higher,
Please don’t make fun of me
When I say I’m a vegan
Because you say you love Fluffy
I still hear the children playing,
They have their own homes now.
I still hear the horses running,
They have passed away now.
I still hear the rain falling,
Why is finding happy upbeat songs so hard to do?
They are always on the radio (the same ones over and over)
But as soon as you try to find one alone they are like
What makes me happy?
Well, I could always go for a nice long nappy,
or read a book full of dragons and wizards,
while eating a large dairy queen blizzard.
But what makes me really smirk?
Words drift into
Oblivion
The night stretches into
Morning
Alarm rings into
Irritation
Dawn breaks into
Defenesless against you, scared of you.
Four legged lives have feelings too, they are not stuffed animals.
They are real, they breathe just like humans do.
They need food just like humans.
I’ve had a long day.
I’m coming home.
I kick off my shoes,
Moaning and groaning.
Then I see you.
My face lights up.
You run towards me.
You jump on me.
You lick my face.
I wish to be like a tree
Have the sun provide all my energy
I crave to destroy what I was before
In order to become something more beautiful, a part of nature.
Instead I'm human
The worst of them all
Sometimes you just have one of those days
Where absolutely nothing is going your way
you bombed that science test
you spilt juice on your shirt
you scraped your knee
dropped your ice cream on the dirt
A wag for a smile
A nudge for a pet
A lick for a laugh
A cuddle for a hug
A fetch for a ball
Would you look at that
I'm happy after all
I am antique malls and dusty dishes
I am front porch pickers and moonshine sippers
I am light up sketchers and spongy pineapple dwellers
I am young mistakes and a family disgrace
I am dogwood trees and honey bees
Their wild nature writhed and burned,
Yearning to be free and untamable,
But the chaotic torch of the untouchable soul
Filled the heart with flame, dancing and burning
And free, and it called with an unsingable song
You use me whenever you want.
You think I was created to satisfy your needs.
Don't you know I bleed?
Don't you know I hurt?
Can't you let me be?
To you I'm only less than.
I know.
You know.

Humans are Ignorant;
Illiterate and Inexperienced.
We live in a world Poisoned by Greed.
The animal was suffering cruel conditionsYou may ask yourself whyThe answer lay on monetary commissions The reason thousands of animals die.
They give us their devotion and love,
We respond with hate.
They show us their loyalty,
We cast them out on the street.
They offer us constant companionship,
We leave them alone to die.
Little Rowena, I wish you were here.
I remember the first day I met you.
You came out of nowhere and meowed at me.
I would look for you other days but you'd disappear.
You were absolutely endearing and cute.
I want to make a distinction
Between “human” and Homo sapiens
“Human” is my choice
Homo sapiens is my species
And I want to make a distinction
Between “animal” and “Animalia”
Over the clouds, radience I see;
Under the radience, a nest;
Over the nest, a fire set on the tree;
Under the tree, a hunterat his best;
Over the hunter, a need to flee;
Under the fear, the end of his quest.
Beauty is...
A waterfall trickling into a small pond,
Moss carpet cushioning the animals as they drink,
Where people have not roamed
Beauty is...
The enchanted forest that comes alive

Will there be peace soon?
All I see is war and hate.
In time things will change.

Valuable in my Eyes
The artistic sky
Paints a picture of freedom
For lone gulls to fly.
On this island, “Perfect” can’t even describe the happiness that
These warm currents bring.
A blackbird turned his eye on me
and stopped me where I stood.
He said that he would tell his tale
if only, if he could.
When I was one I went to the zoo
Years later to Africa I flew
Primates are my love
To you, a dove
My study was quite intense
But in my defence, it's most likely my sixth sense
If you asked me what all I'd need,
If I was stranded on an island with just one thing...
I would have to think,
Just barely,
And finally deside,
It's my puppy.
Sunglasses worn to hide your eyes.
Spinning around using bonucular vision to spy.
Looking around and waiting for any reaction.
Trapped in your own extravaganza.
At the zoo.
The circus.
"The Fated Flower
The Final breath
Understand,
A fate called death
The gentle lion
The loyal horse
May have seen,
"The darkness of a shadow
The trickle of a stream
The sweet grass in a meadow]
As light cuts through the trees
The little barn owl swoops low
As a mouse rustles the leaves
"The winter comes
The summer goes
The ground is covered up by snow
The summer comes
The winter goes
Steams from glaciers finally flow
The winter comes
The summer goes
"The expanse of the sky
The shine of the stars
When the sleeping world lies
The golden silence is ours
The great big sea
With hidden graves
The oceans deep
With countless waves
"Riding free
Forever young
Feel the wind
Rip through my lungs
The pounding sound against my ears
Helps to wipe away the tears
All the memories of the saddle
Help me through those weary battles
(If I were stranded on a deserted island I would bring my love and respect for nature with me).
I sat up on the hill,
My gaze caught the shore, forest, and stream,
Oh, what a thrill!
T’was the most glorious dream,
You are one decade of my life
Yet I am all of yours
Forgive me, for your death too I decide
And out of endless love there is remorse
Fierce they seem towards each otherThey are the most loyal of animals
Always together like a familyNever traveling alone
They depend on each other for survival
The fountain with a pond,
Sheds light in the dawn
As two little ducklings swam
Gliding through the water to land.
The male duck stretched and cawed
The female duck tucked and cleaned
His skin is a rounded tan feather on an eagle's spread wings
His hair dark, damp pavement that glistens in the sun.
His eyes a chocolate bar that melts in your mouth while devoured.
Today I saw a squirrel
and I named it Peanut.
I don't know why:
he just looked like a Peanut,
as in the name and not the food.
He was squat and round,
grey whiskers poking out across
What I would give to be in Wyoming.
Where mountains hug the sky
and the wind whispers stories of yesterday.
Where lakes mirror dusty pine trees
and Father Sun is close enough to burn sunflowers
Yeah, let it be they say
But nah, what’s the point of it?
When life isn’t rife with objectives
You got to hand it to them, what’s life without discipline?
As they run and gallop through the countryside,
Their manes and hooves seem to glide.
As fast and fierce as they can be,
No other animal seem so free.
Their love for human kind shows their big hearts,
Watching you,
watching you abuse me.
Sad eyes,
asking why?
What have I done? I have just been loyal to you,
you take me for granted.
You use me,
while I thought you loved me.
The first,
She was a beautiful,
Little girl with such unique,
Interesting markings.
I loved her.
She was my best friend.
If I was happy,
It seemed she would celebrate with me.
Animals are mans best friends right? In this time of our lifes that saying is not true. Yet we think it is.
From the green grass fields
to the forest miles away
we've dug, we've torn, we've burned and killed millions today
We capture to use them for our desires
An expecting mother of any species,
carrying an unborn miracle.
Living on a small farm in a Southern Oklahoma town, this image is dear to my heart.
The first breath in this vast and expasive world,
Big and black,
white under neck,
white on paws and under belly,
furry and warm,
smells like feathers.
Always sleeping,
always licking,
meticulously cleaning fur.
Laying on my bed,
.
pain, tears, and suffering
disappointment in yourself
and others’ disappointment in you
anger, hurt, and screaming
A fiery sunset over a lake at dusk
The intricate carvings on an ivory tusk
The ocean’s waves that crash and roar
And break upon a distant shore
The silvery twinkle in the stars at night
I take a walk around my neighborhood
I see the houses and dogs and people
I also see a tree in each yard
Suddenly the houses disappear
The people and the dogs are gone
I am on top of a large hill
The soft sand warms her like a blanket
A cool breeze flows through her hair
The waves splash and smooth her spirit
She views the horizon with love and care
All animals feel pain
Primates make different faces for different emotions
Dogs remember who you are when you walk through the door
Dolphins are known to communicate with each other
Horses, horses, horses
Oh how I love horses
Buckskins, Chestnuts, Appaloosa's,
Pintos and colts, Halleluja!
The wind blowing through their manes
The sound of hooves on the plains
Through the ocean I soar
Bue water like air under my fins
I open my maw to feast
Letting baleen filter out the brine
Year after year I skim the waters
My size serving as my insurance
Lilith, Baby Cat, Booger Ball, Booger...Bean.
You knew your name before I did.
I fell in love with you when you were first born on the fouton.
Your eyes were closed, you fit in the palm of my hand
The blood seeps in
Through the cracks on the walls
And it penetrates
Into my spirit
Evolving my state
Into a more impeccable union
Listlessly it closes in
On the lion
Bright
fleeting
wings and leaves
feathers and skin
shed amongst bisque grass
Slithering reptiles creep
scampering all flee
in a tide of squeals and screaming
Even though people think that they have the right to kill animals,
Even if they think that animals provide us with what we need,
Hiding way deep down,
a gypsy soul to be.
Hiding way deep down,
she had yet to see.
Still oblivious,
but closer to her dream,
Still obliviouse,
potential it did seem.
I'm all alone on this rainy, cold and empty street.
Where have you gone?
Do you still care about me?
Look i see a light on!
I'm limping up to the door hoping to find you there.
Huge, gray wonders.
Skin like leather draped over a seemingly giant frame.
A curious appendage for noisemaking.
Dark black eyes with kindness behind them.
Majestic, beautiful, and playful.
Inbetween the mountains I lay
Waiting for a warm breeze.
These days are rare now.
I look around,
I see beautiful, towering trees.
The snow on the mountain tops shines.
The rain pours outide
This library echos with the raindrops.
Singing a stormy song.
Outside,
It is a different song to sing.
Animals,
Former pets,
Try to dodge the raindrops
With no prevail.
The Northern Atlantic Right Whale
was nearly driven to extinction
by whalers who killed them
because they were the easiest whale to hunt.
In today's society,
How can you slaughter them?
The poor, hopeless babies
The weary, weak elders
All the souls in between
How can you sleep at night,
Knowing that you are causing this suffering?
When I graduate high school,
I'm definitely going to cry.
I'll try hard not to,
but there's no doubt I will.
When I graduate college,
I'm definitely going to cry.
I'll try to be strong,
The gift of life is the most precious thing of all
Two feet peak out from behind
That will soon start to unwind
And will make him stand very tall
We all watch in awe
The mother is patient
You took my home
My trees
My life
You rolled in with those big machines
All loud and bright
I am small
I instantly fill with fright at the sight before me
Sunny
Happy smile
Always love my masters
Just waiting a hug
Suddenly a big stick coming through
Humans are so fragile
They must be taken care of.
But animals don't matter
Since they're never given love.
You begin to walk away
Like you did no harm.
The animals died today
How much for that pup in the window?How much turmoil has he been through?Why must you breed again and again?This is where I come in.Saving and rescuingThat is my destinyPeople say they're cute for a whileThat pup lives to see you smile.How will yo
Quel night, those timber windy woods and plains of shushing grasses
The sky is very still while the earth slowly passes.
Nothing stirs, no bird nor bear, across the country’s dim
I now stand alone; the last of my kind. My ears search the woodland for a familiar sound, but i am disregarded with silence. My mind is astray with thoughts of affliction and revenge. I am overcome with all loss of communication.
Cute, small, loving and always on my mind.
My dog will forever be by my side.
My dog is rare she is one of a kind,
I will hope that we will never divide.
You would be surprised by how much I care,
As I drift off to sleep,
my mind enters into a door of dreams,
a door filled with adventures for me.
Suddenly, I find myself in the sky in marvelous flight
Seeing the world from up so high.
But that's not what I saw.
His body was limp and
His nose was cold, and when we wanted him to stand
He couldn't.
He had a look in his eyes
like he knew all about life
Small sad corpse, eyes gone grayI passed you only yesterdayThrough tattered walls you called to meThere’s no one in your home to tellThey left you like an empty shell
When I was six, I would lift this rockthat lay between the swing set and the shedof the backyard behind the little condo off of Bear Hill Road.Underneath the stone were tiny little black spots
You don’t know
Do you
What it’s like
Not to be loved
Not to have
What you
Take for granted:
A home.
What do you
Know about
Hunger and
Pain and
Why do I dream to be a Veterinarian, it’s funny that you asked.
A Tiger, A Mother. A Hunter
Striped orange and white
Totally different from a Deer
Who is as though appears Inferior
There are lions in jungles that roar with pride.
There are snakes in the grass, they're sly, they hide.
There are sheep led by pastors, so fluffy and round.
The wolves are just hungry, they wander around.
I close my eys and visualize my future,
a future where I am taking care of animals,
curing their injuries, making sure they are okay.
Dogs wagging their tails,
cats mewing from their cages,
The job that would change my life is becoming a Veterinarian. I want to help animals and care for them. Ever since I was at the age of 9 and I got my first puppy for Christmas I knew I loved animals and wanted to help them in any way I can.
Being the second born of three Mexican American children, I've been told i was born independent and always had my mind set, knowing what exactly it was that I wanted.
In my community
We have many manatee,
We need to protect the sea cow
And I can tell you how,
Big kitty cat eyes,
Innocent puppy dog cries.
Homeless animals melt my heart,
I have to step up and do my part.
I want to save the cats and dogs,
but first let me give some applause.
The Earth is like a caterpillar,
unchanged but ready to grow.
Earth's history is quite the filler,
I once knew a little girl
Push around and teased
Who only ever wanted
To help and aid the weak
That girl never could
Fit in with her own kind
But she found that animals
Why change the Outer
You can improve your Inner
Find Beauty in Everything
Sharp eyes and Wet nose
Animals-Innocence
They, the Ideal Beauty
Beauty is Within
What have I done?
Why do you beat me?
Why won't you answer me when I cry throughout the night?
These questions are running through their heads
What wrong have they done?
They just want your love
i am the firstborn cub
to my mother and father
born to complete what they lost
in their own life cycles
as a reincarnation sent to
redeem
the regrets nagging behind their sleeping eyelids.
Never again will we see another day,
Since we all have to play the game,
To near waters filled with oil,
What has become of us when we all dry and boil?
Never again will we live to breathe,
All I really know
is that my favorite color has always been blue.
As I have grown up in life
it was the sea and the sky that I intrigued me.
The scorching Serengeti heat casts a spotlight
Shining on a glorious creature whose life is finite
He enters the land of the stories untold
But he is the hunter whose task is so bold
We waste time
We taste smoke outside
We don’t care
We don’t share
We are so focused on our miniscule lives
That we don’t stop to admire the scene around us
There are miracles in this world
A kind, tender, benevolent creature living on it's own
Content at it's highest it still remains, even within this time zone
With a heart so pure and full of life
We destroy it, with our native hunting knife
I don't understand why we cant respect them all.
We share this Earth with animals, big and small.
Yet here we are, acting like we're better than them all.
I want love, every where.
The one job that will change my life. That one and only job will be the one I have always dreamed of. Veterinarian Technology.
how could you hurt
something so defenseless
how could you not love
something so innocent
shame on you, just shame on you
a life that hurts an animal is less than a life to me
Although it's been two years now
I am still reminded everyday and it brings me to a bow.
The new playful puppy next door,
and all I want to see is you on my floor.
Being strong through these days is hard,
I watched as the stranger beat my mother with a rod.
I watched as he threw her onto a truck.
I watched as the stranger beat my father with a rod.
I watched as they threw him onto a truck.
They will break your heart
Innocent lives gone forever
Simply euthanized
Taken without their consent
Animals, we are their voice
i bring home a warm soul
a bouncing tail
a warm tongue
what a gift
its nature is wild
it runs with delight
happy panting
what a gift
it misbehaves
When I was a small puppy
I brought smiles to your face
We played and we had fun
You petted me softly
You told me what a good puppy I was
Tricked into traps,
Locked in cages,
Thrown like trash off the tops of trucks.
Scared, alone and helpless,
They wait.
They wait for their turn to be violently tortured,
The time has come and I'm ready to surpass one of life's greatest milestones that isn't taught in class. If I did not need to decide, I'd gladly take off and explore, but I must, so I shall, and I'll try not to view it as a chore.
We are the pod of the sea.
We glide through oceans effortlessly.
We are approaching our destination,
Like children, you are always getting into “things;”
At 2 in the morning, it’s time to exercise.
One does laps around the room while the other one sings,
yowling tunes with high-pitched notes; why am I surprised?
Banging machinery and grinding gears
You find yourself among your peers
Foreign yelling fills the air
Absolutely unaware
Of what this place has in store
Those donation boxes
for the local animal shelter,
school supplies,
coats for the winter,
clothes for the homeless,
would be filled to the brim.
Overflowing with fabric, food, pencils, cans,
On earth they lived since long ago
then human race began to grow
these children of nature are dissapearing
but here we are not even caring
slowly the world is also dying
The herds,
Roaming free,
Millions of black dots,
Inhabiting the west,
-Bang-
The fatal crack of a gun,
One falls then begins,
Domino effect,
Once sacred to the Natives,
put aside the crack
walk by the crack
see the plumber's crack
now it is time to see and listen
and maybe have a heart attack
because my friends
degrak is back
Hay, straw, wheat, oat
No, thats not a goat,
It's my horse of course!
Jump, land, ride, stall,
When we win,
The ribbons say it all.
Halter, saddle, stirrup, bit
Flopping ears and sagging jaws
I bolt across a field after the rabbit
Digging holes with my big paws
Laying on the grass in the warm sun
I sleep and dream and snore
This life is full of naps and fun
Quiet your breathing, new young foal
I’m here to aide in achieving our goals
No need to breathe tirelessly
There, relax, there’s so much to see
Shhh… Listen, do you hear the sound
The bitter cold tickles my delicately frosted leaves,
chilling me to the very core of my being.
I lift my ears, lift my eyes
Look up to the cloudy sky
Rain falls, soaking me
people hold their noses
Why can't someone embrace me
For who I am
For who I will be
I want to help
I lift my ears, lift my eyes
Look up to the cloudy sky
Rain falls, soaking me
people hold their noses
Why can't someone embrace me
For who I am
For who I will be
I want to help
They say global warming is a hoaxI say... "thats insanely wack"I am sitting here, trying to convince you allTrying to get you join my one man wolfpack
Outside the alley ready to go
She waits with Foxy to hear hear her number
Their hearts are pounding sounding like thunder
She finally heard it, time to start the show
Controlling the reins time moves really slow
Taylor
Talkative, weird, funny, cuddlier
Daughter of Jim and Tammy
Lover of Chinese, Pizza, Animals, and German Shepherds
Who feels happy around animals, and at Warped Tour
Sad at Funerals
The Pit Bull friend or foe
Mans best friend or no?
Bread a killer or a devoted companion.
The gentle giant to some,
A murderer to most.
Powerful, Intimidating, caring all so true,
We have feelings too, sir.
I'm sorry for whatever I did.
I promise, it won't happen again, sir.
Why must you do this to a being much less powerful than you.
I limp, I bleed, I cry, because of you, sir.
You are the Lion,
Strong and Quiet in the grasslands.
I am the Gazelle,
Graceful and Swift alone by the water.
“Our safari of hearts”
I know you're hiding
somewhere in distance.
I am confronted by all their faces.
The faces that say please love me
In place of my owner who is an absentee.
So, here I am, giving out warm embraces.
I wish my work was enough,
I like when he comes to me for protection.
I like his voice, deep but childish.
I like the color of his pristine blue eyes.
I like how he can sleep anywhere at anytime.
I like when he cuddles next to me.
Why are animals overlooked?
People should pick up a book.
We tend to be like zombies,
With no hobbies
The lion runs over the sun-bathed plains,
Into the mountains where it rains.
No longer a lion, but a goat,
It treks up high, and then shakes its coat.
Fur turns into feathers; it is now an eagle in the sky.
thump thump thump thump
silence
thump thump thump,
it's three a.m. and little paws are about
they race and play, until I say
"Hey! I'm, trying to sleep!"
Quietly, they creep.
The rain dropsnot from the clouds,but from the Heavens above.They drip from the treetopsand drop from each branchand nestle into leaves,glisten on webs woven tight fromspiders at night,
Some may not know it
Because they can’t show it
Dogs feel, taste, touch, and smell
But compared to humans not as well
We hurt, as do they
They know when we are just putting on a play
Born in her nurturing arms
Cradle to death and back again,
She held out her helping hands
As a sanctuary for all her children,
"I Sting as hard as a Bumblebee"
"But i'm gracefull as a Dove"
"You can not defeat me!"
"No sir-we I might be just a cub"
"With all my might i put up such a fight!"
"You can't defeat me"
I was settled in bed that night
Had just turned out the light
When I started thinking how good life seemed
Before I became a teen
Then I worried about
Moving out
And paying taxes and buying a house
Golden air of mountain,The Trees glow with the sunset light,They sing their own goodnights. Though not a last goodbye,From stream to mountain they sign on high,In air, their children fly. And the moon’s sweet whiteness,Will struggle with the sunse
Us humans; our mind: so strong, so alive,
Usurper of Nature, the law, to survive.
A hundred more years or a hundred more lives,
But what does it matter if humans still thrive?
Why is my mommy dead?
I nudge her but she won't wake up,
Is it beacuse she gives us all the food?
People walk by but no one helps us,
I paw at my mommy meowing,
Im hungry but no one is helping us,
A cheetah hides in the shadows,
As I hide from my fears.
A cheetah is never afraid, yet I am.
A cheetah attacks its prey with practice ease.
Yet no matter how I try I fail to.
Dig away from all the dissappointment
I get lonley in caves all by myself.
Thoughts lose everything all in the moment,
Scraping nails upon walls, all blood runs high.
Listen to this story
Of a land forward in time,
Where a polar bear lives
The last of his kind.
He would wonder
To and fro,
And think what if
Humans didn’t let global warming grow?
Will the lion's roar,
Be heard forevermore?
Or will it fade into the distance,
Like the music of a past African dance?
Will the elephants still tread,
the paths they've memorized in their heads?
Every day is a battle
My house is a nightmare
I love everyone here
Sometimes I wished they'd disappear
I hide myself in a empty room
Hoping they wont find
They call me crazy
But they walk on two paws
Lying still, fur marred with dirt
I lie lost in the land destroyed by wind
The ground lay still now
Leaving behind remnants of a once loved town
My heart lay still
The world turns on
People walk over
Cast off
Sea winds light.
Laying along the gunwale, I drape my arms
Skimming the heavy blue
A warm body, irresistible, so cohesive
Unstoppable motion
Sacred air
Face of calm, archaic organisms
Looking for a warning sign
Amidst Earth’s complex design
Light little plastic bags
Jellyfish to the turtles with our tags
Our pistons out on an ego trip
Guzzling so fast, we need an IV drip
cats are god
cats rule all
cats conquer hearts
cats are the internet
cats on shirts
cats on posters
cats allow no escape
cats rule everything around me
There comes a time when we all hold a responsibility
For what the world is and what it could be
But we often get trapped in our own reality
Concerned only with the well-being of our families
Before words,
Poetry was what I saw,
Outside my window.
Swallows swooping from,
Spittle-caked nests.
Bobcats bounding among,
I am a frog
With no dog
Because that dog
Ran off my log
Even though I chased my dog
Off my log
In the fog
Now I see a hog
About to jog
To my log
To eat a frog
I talked with Mr. Parrot
Indeed Indeed I did
He talked of his voyge
To see his uncle Sid
His uncle told him of the day
He saw the submarines dancing out in the bay
The words unspoken between me and you, They have the same depth as a city pool. I wait and wait as time flies bye, Thinking about a life full of memories that you left behind.
Happiness is a tired heart
And calloused hands. It's pain
Relievers and aching metaphors.
Metaphors that breathe and sing
Like Northern Cardinals 'what cheer!
'What cheer!' The rhetoric
In the dead of the night,
The wolf pranced through the trees
His jaws were clamped
While his body weaved
The wolf was a brute
With a thirst to fight.
As the first opponent took his place
The great Leonardo proclaimed that “the smallest feline is a masterpiece.”
I can appreciate his taste in cats, as each one is brimming with pizzazz and spunk.
So I was thinking
A bad idea at the best of times-
of the ice which coated the air in the barn
and it's something that renders a break in the lines
of comfort and calm and the pride in the work
Such a beautiful face.
Now sad and twisted
And so out of place.
All on her own.
You cast her out into the night.
Hungry and cold she roams.
Why did you give her such a fright?
All on her own.
swift
lithe
faster and faster
but only when seen like this
can it be seen
the detail
the spots, like little black stickers
the skin stretching like putty
Duct tape
Punch
Kick
Throw
Slap
Cut
Bruise
Scratch
Scrape
Starve
Hurt
Thirst
Weight
1 Their splendor spreads around earth
2 Shaking the ground with every stride.
3 Sharing blood with the mighty lion
4 They’re gifted with graceful pride.
Ripped away from mothers
Means nothing
As long as we can benefit
No room to breathe
Means nothing
As long as we can benefit
Never seeing the outdoors
Means nothing
As long as we can benefit
Born in the middle of the night
His coat soft as silk
Scrutinizing the world around him
He begins to learn the way of a horse
Ready to grow big and strong
Gray like the hairs in mother’s mane,
Eyes as deep as a wishing well,
Black as the sky surrounding the midnight train.
His back arched into a downward curve,
Paws tucked and ready to pounce,
Food is my ultimate weakness
I have stop and lose these pounds
Because now I am so sleepless
Shedding off weight has too many secrets
The sugary snacks make me look fat all around
Food is my ultimate weakness
I was born to this world as men's best friend,
Not to be abused or to make this the end.
We jump and play, it was all in vain
I was named with happiness,
Now my name is worthless.
I want to speak and ask why
I knew the day,
I saw those bright green eyes full of love,
Just wanting an home and someone to love her back,
My days would not be the same.
So I wish for you now,
Riding in the middle of a grassy pasture
A cool burst of wind tosses your hair
The sun kisses your face
And the rush starts
Tall, towering, majestic, grand. Clear, rushing, vibrant, pure. Alive, frolicking, happy, free. This is the way. This is the way the trees were. This is the way the water was. This is the way the animals were.
I am the meadow,
the tranquil meadow.
I am the trees,
the trees that gently swayed.
I am the birds,
the birds that sweetly chirped.
I am the flowers,
the flowers that bobbed and danced.
The warmth, the beauty of a true masterpiece
The flow of the breeze, giving the leaves temporary wings
The rustle, as they wage waer to stay firmly on the tree
In the end a loss, and now must lay on the ground
Skies stricken with the zephyrs of despair,
Sun gleaming on gears of salvation,
Nature may have something to spare;
Then there would be glorified escalation.
The Black Death stands with his herd
nibbling on the tough, stubby grass.
The large crown adorning his head
gleaming in the noon-time sun.
The Black Death stands with his herd
nibbling on the tough, stubby grass.
The large crown adorning his head
gleaming in the noon-time sun.
PuttPutt my pup,
He's a real mutt
Chihuahua and something, I truly give up
He can be...
Hyper as a sugar baby, sweet as can be
He's whining by my door just waiting for me
Never step on the tail of a cat.
For all you know, he could be lying on the mat.
And if you take one step on his tail,
You will surely hear a most frightful wail.
I've heard about it back at the big farm.
The Farmers told us that it's delicious.
My Friends said: " Farmers are mean and cause harm."
But they were nice and said I'm nutritious!!
The sun emits fading rays
Warm breeze brings still air to life
Twirling and spinning, the wind invites leaves
To dance in unison, touching the warm earth
Arriving at tiny bare feet
A little girl giggles
When will we learn?
When will we cry?
We’re letting our planet burn,
We’re letting it die.
Nature’s balance has been upset,
Who’s to blame?
Who carries the regret,
For setting our world aflame?
I am the tiger, mighty and strong;
I roar out against poaching, which is cruel and wrong:
“Hands off my parts!”
I am the wise elephant, who forgets nothing at all;
And now I want the world to hear my call:
Carbord, sharpie marker,
to me is making a way
asking for help
asking to be loved
nothing wrong with that
coping with it stress
trying to make it better
What's the problem?
We love you more than we even love ourselves.
We live to be loved.
Your attention and loving hands embrace us.
Your actions train us to be good.
Society has honored us.
Society has shunned our kind.
They are just like us,
From characteristics,
To emotions.
They lift our spirits,
On our darkest days.
They always want to
Be with us
Even if we ignore them.
They complete
Our life.
Caged and helpless
Desperate and Alone
Confused and senseless
Wishing to go home
In a dark room
All filled with the wild
Everything filled with gloom
Scared like a child
Before the day of the wind,
Before it aggrandized and became a threat,
Before it swirled above me, becoming anything but vapid,
I had the sleazy, grass-topped shelter that I called home.
Vegan, a what? Cult? A kinda Fruit? Is that in the Middle East? (heard it all)
No meat, no animal milk or eggs!?!
A freak, a hippy, an anarchist,
A radical extremist, must be sickly,
The roar of the river,
The speed of the hurricanes,
The strength of the mountains,
The stealth of the tornatoes,
does not even compare.
