Animal’s Savior

I looked at all the caged animals
in the shelter, the cast-offs of
human society.

I saw in their eyes love and hope,
fear and dread, sadness and
betrayal, and I was angry.
“God” I said, “this is terrible!”

“Why don’t you do something?”
God was silent for a moment,
and then He spoke softly,

“I have done something”
He replied, “I created you.”
