We.
as cats.
Want of a home,
want to love,
no want for alone.
We..
as birds.
Need to be free,
want to soar,
no need to flee.
We…
as lions.
Need to survive,
need to run,
no need to strive
We..
as wolves.
Need to fight,
want to rise,
no need to fright.
We.
as dogs.
Want of a home,
want to love,
no want for alone.
We as humans.
We act the same..
We live that way...
We are as they.
