Poems about Animals
Los Angeles
I walk this city everyday of my life
if I go by car or by skate board, bike
Animals have feelings too,
This is why we should not beat them with a shoe.
Animals should be treated like family,
They're quiet and calm, blending into the waves of the ocean shore.
Shells hard and tough like stone.
I touched a deer yesterday.
First its nose then its cheek.
I looked into its glass eyes,
Sadly empty and dead,
Vegan, a what? Cult? A kinda Fruit? Is that in the Middle East? (heard it all)
No meat, no animal milk or eggs!?!
They are just like us,
From characteristics,
To emotions.
They lift our spirits,
On our darkest days.
Open the door, pitch black
Something pounces, giving me a heart attack
Long tongue, licks me in the face
Who gave you the right to take away mine?
Who gave you the right to tell me where to sit
To eat
They think we are subservient,
They think we do not know.
They think we are susceptible
after 9/11, we bounce back
after hurricane irene, we got back on track
