I have reposted this poem, because I am disillusioned that people still ignore the plight of animals. Be fair! Return Me Home Free. I sit here out of Africa Around me some are from America Few others are from Asia and Australia And if look around some are from Europe We came here some tied up by rope Others unconcious from dope You walk by, and you gaze at me Your children are frigtened of me I do not belong here I want to go home Some say it is best I stay here Because there are not many of me left What did I do to hurt you For you to take me away from my home Everyday, you bring food to me I have to take it, because you Will not release me to get my own I am not like you I do not dress up and have bills to pay I do not waste the earth's resources The way you have done Since the Industrial Revolution. I do not try to wage wars I never left this earth To get to Mars I am of this earth and plains I roamed just for survival Why then have you locked me up In Zoo's and laboratories Let me go home to where I belong You can still come and see me I am better in the wild Because,there, I am free.< !signature--> Respond to my call and let the waves of my heart fill your life with the wonders of love (Daniel J D) [This message has been edited by Daniel J D (edited 10-16-2000).] |

Daniel, Nicely said. I too have a heart for animals. It's a shame how some neglect and mistreat animals. Right here in America animal shelters are full of unwanted animals, yet some continue to breed for a buck or two. Deb |
