If Only for a Minute by ~Asonix:iconAsonix:

If only for a minute,
we could switch those people,
with the lives of them,
to see what truly goes on...

To see that angered face,
staring down at me,
that gun pointed at my temple,
or that fist nearing my head,
when I did nothing wrong?
And was just at the wrong place at the wrong time?

Or maybe they suddenly left,
and I was alone,
roaming the house
with no food or water,
nor any means of toiletries,
And I was stuck there, not knowing what was going on...

If I was crossing the road,
at the darkest time of night
and suddenly the lights shocked me,
stilled my limbs,
and in that second of hesitation
I am dead.
A strewn carcass,
smashed into the pavement,
for the rest of those wretched machines to pulverize...

I am in this small cage,
with many others
and staring at these diamonds
staring up at them as they walk past,
not even looking at us
because we are deformed,
but not due to natural born illness,
because of the torture we've endured,
and yet they won't even glance...
But we can be so loving.
And as we sit here,
crying, crying, crying,
wanting a home..
Why can't we go home with you?
Why? Why? Why?
We've done nothing,
but be the perfect pets,
and yet you
walk away. Walk away...walk away...
Please...take us home.
Take us home!
TAKE US HOME!

If only I could be you,
walking past us that are deformed...
but I wouldn't walk away.
I wouldn't walk away...wouldn't walk away.
I would give you a chance,
and you would love me,
as I would love you.

So please...don't walk away...

But yet...you walk away...

You walk...

...away.

Really?

Why do men hurt animals?
Because they are defenseless and normally won't fight back?
Because you feel better for beating a poor puppy, or cat, to death? Leaving it STARVING in your back yard, not even caring to give it one scrap of food, three times a day?

And why can't people look at those animals that look beat up, and look at them?

Some of the animals that have been brutally beaten and close to death, are the most comforting and well-behaved ones out there.

I think I finally know what I want to be when I grow up...

An ASPCA officer, or someone who gives justice to those who really beat animals who have done nothing, and kill them for no reason.

It just SICKENS me.

My dog was abused before he came to live with us.
-clings to him-
He's the love of the family.

EXACTLY.

Abused pets are the most lovable ones out there, because they probably appreciate you better!
But when you go to a shelter, and see a dog or a cat that may have some sort of injury or disablement, people walk right past them, won't give them a look because they're missing an eye, or a leg or something...

I really HATE people who do that.

And because no one will adopt them, they get put down, when they could live out the rest of their life happily...

Ah, man. ;-;

My friend has a dog that we think was abused previously. She's the sweetest thing, too. I find it amazing animals still trust humans even after they've done awful things to them... it tugs on my heartstrings.

Animal abusers are just another reason why I hate humans. To believe you have enough dominion over a being to beat it is just... disgusting. People who do it are sick and twisted.

This is a gorgeous poem, Cata. You have no idea how much your writing has grown. <3

The stupidity of humanity can be pretty astounding, can't it? >.<

But hey. It's always nice to know that there are people who can look past appearances.
