Born For Hunger
By Susan Rodgers
An Animal Rights Poem from All-Creatures.org

All of God's creatures have rights, a fact that most people don't seem to recognize. This includes both human and non-human animals, but not all of them can speak for themselves.

Born For Hunger
By Susan Rodgers

People rushing never caring,
Animals suffering,
Do they care, those people there?"
Man's hunger is strong,
Beautiful creatures are born to feed his wide open mouth,
"Do they care, those people there?"
Fields are there lush paradise,
A child smiles and admires the beautiful beast,
A child grows and kills,
Heartless! Callous!
Hungry for his feast.
Beautiful eyes were once,
Now so scared, so sad "their life is lost",
To feed man's face!
Do they care, those people there?
