pets

we keep them in cages

we want all of our friends to see

so we put them on stages

they should be out there running free

my friend on the table

won't stop scratching at the glass

I've chosen to disable

this animal's natural path

Notes: This isn't about domesticated pets. This is the reason I don't go to zoos. It is so sad to see that look in an animals eyes.
