Sadness zoo

I feel so bad, so very bad to see,
To see all those animals in that zoo.
Cockatoos not laughing, kangaroos not jumping.
All those animals lifeless.
Taken from your home just for peoples
entertainment
I feel so bad knowing that every move is being seen
It is so very rude
Snakes not moving, monkeys not playing
It is so sad knowing that you are being stared at
When you wake and turn around ,someone is staring without a sound.
