You are not alone

Deep in that dark filthy cage,
Trembling in cold and fear,
Slammed against that metal truck,
Crammed with all your peers,
Walking in that narrow corridor,
With shouts behind the door,
Facing the bodies of your friends,
On the killing floor.

Even in these moments, 
We wanted you to know,
That we see you, we hear you, we feel you, we love you,
That you are not alone.

They took you from your family,
And stuck you in a testing place,
They snatched you from your mommy,
Before she touched your face,
They sent you to the circus ring,
To amuse the laughing crowds,
They stripped you off your hair and skin,
And threw you on the ground.

But even in these moments, 
We wanted you to know,
That we see you, we hear you, we feel you, we love you,
That you are not alone.

One day, on this ravaged Earth,
When blood and tears subside,
Everything will be so calm,
And green from side to side.
Animals like me and you,
Will share this place in peace,
And there will be no suffering,
Just joy and love and ease.

But until that day is here,
We’ll meet on the Rainbow Bridge,
Where there will be no difference, 
‘Tween man and cow and pig.
We’ll hug and kiss and play all day,
Just like children do,
And then we will apologize,
For what we did to you.

And even in these moments, 
We wanted you to know,
That we see you, we hear you, we feel you, we love you,
That you are not alone.
You’re not alone,
Even when you’re gone.
