Where do the Hearts of People Go

(poems go here) Where do the hearts of people go?
Because it is so hard to see anyone have a heart.
When someone hurts another do they feel with their mind or their heart?
Where do the hearts of people go?
When you look in a child's eyes you know they have a heart.
When you look in a child's heart you know there is something there.
They feel with their heart and not with their mind.
Where do the hearts of people go?
When people get older, they lose theirs.
When you see people use dog in fights, where is that heart?
Where do the hearts of people go?
When you see that people are taking lives; where is that heart?
When you see homes being destroyed and you do nothing to help.
When you have a job that destroys something precious to your child, do you ask them how they feel?
Where do the hearts of people go?
Do people think about the animals?
Do they think about their homes?
Where do the animals have to go when people destroy their homes?
Where do the hearts of people go?
I just don't understand how or why people are so heart less.
When you call someone a name, do you see if it hurts?
What happens when words escalade to hurt someone?
Where do the hearts of people go?
When things go too far and someone is hurt.
When you abandon and abuse an animal.
Where do the hearts of people go?
I think all in all we feel with our mind and we do not feel at all with our heart.
What about when elephants are being trained in a circus?
They are being abused; have a hook being pulled through their mouth.
If they don’t do a trick right they are being beat.
Is the entertainment worth all that?
When an animal to be almost killed in the process?
Where lays the heart of their trainers?
Where do the hearts of people go?
