We all want a companion  Even if we deny it, the feeling of need is there
 Companions can come in any form, they don’t have to be human They can be two-legged, or four-legged, or have no legs at all
 They can live underwater, on land, or in the sky They can walk with us, love us, and be loyal to us
 Wouldn’t that be nice?
 
 
 Now there is a problem going on that some see,
 While others try to avoid it
 Those animals that can be so kind, so peaceful, so beautiful, are being harmed
 But why?
 Do we not care for them enough to provide them a loving home?
 Do we not have enough respect to leave theirs alone?
 Must we conquer everything we see?
 Is all of these truly necessary?
 
 
 People say that animals cannot speak 
 Well I say the can, the thing is we can’t understand
 They may not use our words or other methods of communication we do
 But every movement, every noise they create is done on purpose
 When animals are being abused, you can see the fear and sadness in their eyes
 So don’t tell me they can’t speak
 Maybe not to you, but they sure do to me
 Their cries need no words,
 Their pain easily spotted
 So don’t tell me that just because they can’t say “stop” like us you have the right to harm
 
 
 These words are my way to stand
 They are my way to awaken those who are being blinded
 They represent each individual being that is in pain
 For those that are against animal cruelty,
