Sad Cries, Not Always human


They scream and cry
Howl their pain
But some just ignore
Just ignore what they feel
 
They bleed and limp
Dying in vain
But some just keep going
Keep going and not looking
 
They suffer and struggle
Getting hurt 'cause they won't tame
But some think this is right
Think this is how it should be
 
Some people don't know
Some people don't care
When an animal is beaten
When a being is hurt and killed without reason
 
But some do and we speak
We cry out " we all should"
All should listen to those whimpers
To those little cries and whines
All should try and treat their wounds
Stop the bleeding, mend the hearts
 
And maybe those who care
Can one day get the message through
And man won't bully anymore
The beings who speak in noise not words
For those beings still speak if you listen
And their cry is for help
And their cry is for no more abuse and only compassion 
 
And their cry is for love
