All creatures lives are full of fear
As they survive from year to year
Some lifetimes that they share are cruel
Still their love sparkles like a jewel.
While all the legacy we leave
Are what we’ve said or do believe
The animals can’t speak their mind
But truer love this world won’t find.
How sad that few may chance endure
To cruelty there is no cure
Beg God protect each simple beast
From giant-sized down to the least !
