 They were wholesomely innocent; not entangled in any

discrepancy of spurious religion whatsoever, 
 
They didn't need any wealth to live; harmlessly
replenishing their innocuous stomachs; with Nature's
bountiful endowment, 
 
They hadn't a single cloth on their heavenly bodies; 
yet handsomely managed their survival; without
infiltrating the slightest into your conventional society, 
 
They safeguarded your possessions like an invincible
fortress; while you slept in the untamed luxury of
opulent wine and seductive vixen, 
 
They were bereft of a name; yet attended to the most
infinitesimal of your command; by whatever prefix; 
that you chose to call them, 
 
They gave the most exhilarating rides to your children
on their bare backs; at times wincing tumultuously
under the pain; while your kin had the time of their lives, 
 
They galloped like a profusely embellished prince
through the spiraling hills; timidly retreating back
as the Sun transcended beyond the ethereal horizons, 
 
They harbored a festoon of poignant empathy in their
eyes; feeling devastatingly distraught as man killed
man; for power, 
 
They frolicked playfully under the enchanting moon; 
cuddling their young ones securely to their womb, 
 
They had an astounding prowess of smell; at times
wholesomely depending upon it to find their way; as
their sight blinded in the most tenaciously brilliant
of sunshine, 
 
They splashed every dawn under rejuvenating waterfalls
of the mountains; yielding you frosty milk for your
appetizing breakfast, 
 
They imitated you at sporadic occasions; triggering
you to have the most wholehearted laugh of your lives, 
 
They wagged their tails in ecstatic jubilation witnessing the revered grace of their master; irrespective of the fact that he belted out his frustration of the day; ruthlessly on their nimble hindsides, 
 
They were complete oblivious to vicious circles of
hatred; lies; lecherous ambition; confronted each
moment of life as it came; with ardent simplicity in
their bodies, 
 
They soared like a king amidst the celestial clouds; 
rendering you their salubrious eggs; even before they
had hatched, 
 
They had not the slightest of moral education; yet
sacrificed their lives for their soldiers; in the
acrimonious battlefield of war, 
 
And they had a heart more passionately throbbing than
their human counterparts; weeping and profoundly
lamenting the loss of their loved ones, 
 
They were barbarically called; Chickens, Pigs, Dogs, 
Cats, Cows, Birds, Monsters, Wolves, Rabbits; Mice; 
Ants and Frogs, 
 
With people cutting; roasting; slaughtering; 
strangulating; consuming; them for their daily meals; 
as they still showered their blessings to all living
kind, 
 
Therefore it is my plea to all you humans out there; 
don't give them any status in your monotonous society; 
but at least can you stop killing animals.

Say Something Terrorible v3 by RickthePoetWarrior

My mom says ‘If you can’t say anything nice then don’t say anything’. Sorry mom but under the guise of poetic license I penned these beauties.
