Look At This Face
By Ronald C. Caldwell
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.

Look At This Face
By Ronald C. Caldwell

Look at this face. What do you see? 
A scared, young animal wanting to be

With brother and sister playing and free 
From these torturous hands now holding me.

Placed in a cage, no room to move. 
Waiting for slaughter to be someone’s food.

Laying here with tears in my eyes. 
Wondering why I was born to die.
