Animals Do Grieve
They're seen as garments, as food, as trophies,
As accessories, as robots without batteries,
They're the kingdom of fauna, of mysteries .

Heinous humans, are you so blinded in your sight,
Considering their sorrows subordinate to your petty plights?

Hear the gurgling grief garbled in guttural growls?
Oh humans, you're foolish to believe,
That emotion doesn't echo through those haunting howls...
Animals don't weep tears, but animals do grieve.

They're seen as lesser than the human species,
As objects with mindless, meaningless memories,
They're the kingdom of fauna, of miseries.

Heartless humans, do you think you're in the right,
Considering yourself above all, when you're just a parasite?

Hear the woeful whimpers warped in wretched wails?
Oh humans, you're too foolish to perceive,
Their yelps for help hidden in veils...
Animals don't weep tears, but animals do grieve.
