'' Our Future We Will Need To Revise '' Poem by Bri Mar

The adverts on telly every quarter hour,
Really do leave a taste that’s sour,
Behind the sofa my children cower,
As another poor animal dies.

Donkeys collapsing loaded with bricks,
As at it’s behind the owner kicks,
A broken spirit no one can fix,
We look on as the poor thing cries.

The barking dogs are homeless and caged,
Then we wonder why they become enraged,
With their owners they have not engaged,
That’s just one of their blatant lies.

Beautiful kittens bought and sold,
When older discarded out into the cold,
Refused the right to live and grow old,
We watch their sad demise.

Birds in captivity tethered to a rope,
Living in despair without any hope,
How can they be expected to cope?
Their lives they must truly despise.

Stir crazy Bears circling around,
Elephants in nature nowhere to be found,
Into dust the Rhino’s horn is pound,
Every animal’s life we chastise.

These creatures have lived for millions of years,
Our abuse and neglect really sears,
What we are doing would bring you to tears,
It really is so unwise.

Unless of their importance we become more aware,
There’ll come a day when they’re no longer there,
Then we’ll be the ones left feeling despair,
With all that that implies.

Without all other life forms there would be no us,
The dangers of our actions we need to discuss,
If the alleged most intelligent don’t kick up a fuss,
