Eyes of the Mill
Two tiny eyes peer out of a small lonely cage
Through which fear and pain is betrayed
An innocent creature so small and weak
Forced to suffer by the hand of the beast
This puppy will probably starve to death
His mother underfed and bred until her last breath
His siblings will sleep upon a filthy and cold cage floor
Until they pass away or are sold at the local pet store
How such torture is overlooked and ignored
Nobody knows how the puppy they see in the store
Must suffer and live as an uncared for wreck
For the sake of the owner’s paycheck
Two little eyes are the windows into a tortured soul
So small, afraid, frail, and alone
But the beast is out there still
The heartless man and his mill
