Open Your Eyes


Everyday animals suffer

In farm factories, fur farms, research faculties, and more

All just for a life of another.

 

Animals can feel the hate and pain

They feel, they hurt, they are conscious creatures, just like us

Yet no one is willing to take the blame.

 

When will the human race accept the responsibilities for their own actions?

We destroy everything in our path

And the majority is not open to other options.

 

When will everyone open their eyes to the bigger picture?

The world and every being is at stake

We are hurting Mother Earth and all her creatures.

All just for one race.

 

However, there is a way to make a change

Be vegan, vegetarian, or purchase cage-fee organic meat and by-products

Buy faux fur and items that are not tested on animals

There are so many options in this day and age.

 

Mother Earth is also in need of our aid

Recycle, reuse, don’t litter

Or everything will begin to fade.

 

Open your eyes to the bigger picture

We are damaging this planet and everything that resides in it

Then you can call yourself a true victor.
