Pain to DemonLillyAnn

Have you heard a small kitten’s agonic howls,
When, dying, it lay in the rain?
When someone had cut out the poor thing’s bowels,
It passed away slowly, in pain.

Have you watched a butterfly’s struggle to fly
With its wings torn off and apart?
Have you heard a trapped bear’s suffering cry?
That cry still abides in my heart.

Have you seen a wolf, that is trying to heal
Its wounds, but can not bear the pain?
If yes, then you surely know how I feel,
If not – there is naught to explain.

And yet there is brightness I see on this earth,
The brightness that gives me my sight.
It fills me with happiness, giving in girth
The thoughts I consume with delight.

Have you seen a deer, unhunted, unstalked?
Or birds in the skies, living free?
Or places where no person ever has walked?
Or lion cubs under a tree?

Do you understand that the danger is real?
We fight, but we don’t fight in vain…
Come with us, you’ll surely know how we feel.
If not – there is naught to explain…
