Don't We Have A Heart?

Why must we think
that we're the only living things
that have feelings,
and that have a soul?

Can't we hear the cry of a puppy,
when taken from it's mother?
can't we see the fear
In the eyes of a deer?

What about the cry of whales?
when we invade their only home?
Or a lobster,
being boiled alive
in extreme heat?

We continue to pray,
for our food,
for ourselves and for each other,
but what about the poor wildlife
that has to suffer
by our cold actions?
