Cruelty Against The Helpless
The stroke of a strong arm follows through
A back is broken a skull is crushed
A body frail and defenseless falls to the ground shattered and lifeless
The small furry body splattered with patches of a scarlet stain
The rod is dropped heavy boots walk away
No turning of the head not a second thought upon his actions
This is what happens everyday
Our instinct is to close our eyes to such disgusting horrifying behavior
We let our fear hold our actions against this cruelty at bay
We close our eyes and hope it would just go away
Can you look into the liquid eyes brimming with trust and love and tell them how sorry you are for being too scared to take the stepst to keep them safe
My fellow humans
Take the blindfold from your eyes unclog your ears part your lips and let your voice come out
Let the passionet feeling against this ongoing massacre swell within your heart and erupt in a loud voice
Stand beside your loyal friend
Welcome him to lean upon you
We are their only hope
Be it forbidden that we stay silent
These are living creatures
They have blood coursing through their veins
They have minds open and nonjudgemental full of trust and love
They have a heart its steady beat reverberating within the sculpted lungs which God created in them
It is not mans job to choose when a life should be wrenched from any creature
Is it right for us to stand idly by and allow such treatment to continue
No it is we who need to stand up proudly shake off our fear of persecution and speak out with voices strong and unfaltering and act speedily with determination and efficiency
We are their hope
We are their friends
So stand together pick up this cross make the effort
Act
Save a life.
