Do You Hear Me Crying

Trees and animals have feelings and they hurt when we hurt them. Have you ever seen the seeping tears from the trees or the cry from an innocent animal. Think of how we would feel if someone was tearing off our limbs or kicking us.

Do You hear Me Crying
September 27, 2008
Written By: Rose Marie Rideout

Do you hear me crying,
Why do you need to hurt me so,
Why can’t you enjoy my beauty,
Let me live & continue to grow.

I watch you from the distance,
With that branch you broke from me,
Beat that innocent little dog,
I prayed that God would set him free.

Don’t you have any feelings,
Can’t you feel within your heart,
That all God’s creations provides beauty,
Why must you tear it all apart.

You’ve torn and beaten my every limb,
Can’t you see me weeping,
You’ve crucified all God’s gifts,
Left all our open wombs seeping.

What would you if I fell,
And broke your leg into,
Or that innocent dog drew blood,
I bet you would hurt too.

Think of what we’re feeling,
How many times you’ve made us cry,
Look at all our beauty,
Then question yourself, WHY?

I think one of the most important quesstions for our modern age - we seem hell bent on destruction, pain, and suffering.

Laboratory experiments with todays more advanced equipment and super computers have stablished that plants does feel pain, react with measurable reactions if the one that hurt one of them comes back in the room, activity slowes down with soft music and waves goes epileptic when shrill loud music is played.
So, anytime someone kick a tree, it hurts!

A very good work Rose. I often see people doing exactly what you are writing about here. Instead of enjoying what God has put here to make our lives more beautiful they tear it apart without a thought.

Heartbreaking and yet makes us think. Trees and animals do have feelings, more than what people may realize. When are we ever going to learn?? (Somehow I think never. Shame!)

(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in Tx., Karen Lynn. :(
