Look into an animal's eyes
See not just an animal feature
See a friend- A living creature.
They are not ours to eat,
They are not ours to wear,
Are not ours to experiment
Are not ours for entertainments.
They aren't ours to be served in dishes
To stuff ourselves, chopped in pieces,
They aren't ours to wear as clothes,
In shoes, feathers and leathern robes.
They aren't ours to test
In hospitals or in medical labs.
They are the truest beings of Nature,
Never wagging wars destructive,
Nor defile the earth and air
With use of bombs and fire weapons.
They are the truest to the world they live
Truest to the earth and ecosystem,
The most faithful and never betraying
The love and affection shown to them!
Up up my friends and change your looks
To look all creatures as friendly beings,
Be a heart to touch their feelings
To feel their love, their truest beings.
