It's hard to hear
About the neglect
And terrible abuse
Innocent animals
Must endure

They have no voice
Nor words we can hear
Yet if you
Look in their eyes
You can see their fear

Fear of being abandoned
And left all alone
With no food to eat
Or no place to call home

Fear of being used
As a monetary gain
By cruel people
Who don't understand
Animals also feel pain

They aren't free
To roam God's
Beautiful land
For fear of feeling
The abuse of
A cruel person's hand

They want so bad
To be pampered
And need to be fed
Yet so many
Innocent animals are
Abused and left for dead

With all the innocent animals
In this world all alone
Can't you be caring
And give one a home?
