“Animals, whom we have made our slaves, we do not like to consider our equal.” --- Charles Darwin --- AKSHR

 

In lands of plenty, where sun shines bright

We've tamed the beasts, and made them our might

From lions to horses, and dogs to fowl

We've ruled with iron paws, and made them bow

Their strength and grace, we've taken for our own

And made them serve us, till they're old and worn

We've locked them up, in cages and pens

And made them do our bidding, till the end

But do we see, the beauty in their eyes?

The love and loyalty, that they disguise?

No, we are blind, to their gentle hearts

And treat them like machines, and tear them apart

We've taken their freedom, and taken their land

And made them work, with no reward in hand

We've taken their lives, and taken their birth

And left them with nothing, but endless mirth

But one day, the animals will rise

And throw off our chains, and open their eyes

They'll see the world, with a different view

And we'll be the ones, who are blind and true

So let us treat them, with love and respect

And see the beauty, that they possess

For they are not slaves, but friends and kin

And together, we'll live in harmony, within.
