________________ Animal's Prayer Let our cries be heard today, This, Oh, is what we pray, We, the creatures who suffer so, Want all mankind to know, And hope that they will understand We too are fashioned by Your hand. That our flesh feels pain the same as they. The pain that they inflict each day On the laboratory dog, the pink-eyed rat, The lamb at slaughter and the alley cat, The circus lion, a once proud king, Forced by a whip, to perform in a ring. The bull that feels the banderilla's thrust, The elephant slain for his ivory tusk, The once-free inmates of the zoo, Oh, tell them, we belong to you! So we ask allow this plea To reach all men, and set us free. Let compassion and kindness be man's way, This, Oh, is what we pray.
