Sense Sonnet - Steamer

 Circus Victims

Humans take far too much delight

In watching animals perform,

That often do exist in plight,

Maltreated by trainers as norm.

No animal, be wild or tame,

Should have to be subjected to

Human exploiting with the aim

Of making more profits accrue.

These animals do have no voice

In how they will be treated by

Humans, they are given no choice,

But do their tricks until they die.

If live bodies need to be used,

Let willing humans be abused.
