I Happen To Believe


It didn't happen, the accident's causation, the hit and run no one reports, no one slows to stop or go out of their way to help the cause of animals struck, deer and racoon and fox and squirrel haven't a chance in front of a truck could never road rage but became road kill running a race just to reach the other side sticking their necks out just to survive why oh why would we stop for one like us but not give a care for nonhuman animals? Are we that biased, prejudiced against life or are we desensitized, rushed for time, in strife? All excuses. Rebuke us. Get a new belief that animals have rights; all creatures have grief.
