The human factor remains a threat to them all
In the wilderness, they rely on their instinct alone
Still, animals feel pain, of this, I have no doubt
And the evil done to them, I shall never condone

We are born with certain characteristics
It is purely by instinct, we make a choice
Empathy is important, but never simplistic
Yet needs to be used, when using our voice

She is living proof
Animals know compassion
For she has taken
Another as her own true
Keeping it warm in the night
There is no struggle
Nor is there disparity
Where love conquers all

Do I dare wonder
What awaits me
A first impression
A lasting response
To the unknown
Do I trust my instinct
A gut reaction
An impulse
Or do I question
Myself, my tendency
To judge the unknowing
Defining what is wrong
And what is right
Allowing my conscience to lead me
Down a blind path
A prerequisite to knowing
What awaits me
