Do You Care

Not understanding what happens to animals,
not knowing how they are experimented on,
not feeling the pain or counting the lives,
not enough to save their hides.
Some of these animals are dumped on the street,
some of these animals are bread like wheat,
all of these animals have no where to go,
all of these animals are dead, you know.
Stuck in cages one on top of the other,
all cramped up no room to shudder,
all thinking of their lovely mother,
no one to care for them no where to run.
Do you know what will happen now?
Do you know who will save the day?
Do you really care about them?
Or do you just go outside and play?
