PUPPY MILLS

Does she come to bring some love for me?

No. Not today, anyway

In this cage my life forever stay

I see the grass, wonder how it feels

I’d love to run on more than wheels

I’m not a rat, though treated so

What am I? I no longer know

A baby machine is my best guess

A money experiment or a little test

On the endurance of one, How much can I take?

Before my spirit and heart will break

My collars tight it cuts and chokes

Can barely move the wire pokes

I’m dirty and soar and sick and yet

Still hope one day to be someone’s pet

That’s it! I remember! I am a dog

Sometimes I forget, my minds a fog

I’ve been screwed and suckled until my tits do bleed

There’s excrement in the food I feed

My children come and go and come again

I’m glad that they don’t have to spend

Their life as I, I want to cry

So many times I ask, but why???

I’d like to know who thought this up?

Let’s make lots of money off a little pup

They greed, I bleed, while no one cares

My eyes look out in empty stares

My day must be coming, I must hold on

It won’t be long ‘til I can no longer spawn

Then they’ll have to let me go and play

I’ll be no more use to them that day

Here she comes again, maybe today will be

The day she comes to set me free

My eyes get big as the cage door opens

Oh please, oh please my mind is hopin’

She takes me out, this is the day

I finally get to get away

14 years I’ve spent trapped in that cage

I amaze myself, not full of rage

But I have to hope that’s all I’ve got

Last thing I heard was one loud shot

They put a bullet in my head

After all I gave, I end up dead

As I lay breathing my final breath

I think my life was just an extended death

For I never once experienced joy

No love or care, not one single toy

My final wish before I drift away

Is that someone will stand up and finally say

I won’t support the one’s running puppy mills

Who use life’s like mine just pay the bills

Please don’t buy your pets at the local store

Check out the humane society, there’s plenty more

All hoping and waiting for someone to take them home

So they can have a dog’s life and be free to roam

Please do your part that’s all I ask

Many paws like mine, have never touched the grass

They’re locked in some steel cage somewhere

Just wishing someone would only care

Please do your part!

Research where your pup comes from before buying!

STOP CRUELTY TO ANIMALS

and

HAVE YOUR PET SPAYED OR NUETERED

Thanks!!!
