What They Don't Tell You
Location
When you go to the grocery store
They don't tell you about the hormones and anibiotics
That is in the chicken and meat you buy
They don't tell you about the lives
That those chickens didn't get to live
They don't tell you about the holes
That those cows are forced to live with
On the sides of their stomachs
When you go to the pet store
They don't tell you about the cages
That those puppies lived in
They don't tell you about the thousands of others
That are already in shelters and waiting for homes
They don't tell you about the shelters
That those puppies will be sent to
If they aren't adopted before they become adults
When you go to the city
They don't tell you about the homeless there
That would give anything just for a roof over their heads
They don't tell you about the kidnapping of children
That brings about a new generation of slavery
They don't tell about the overwhelming amount of waste
That pollutes the Hudson River
And ultimately, the Atlantic Ocean
They don't tell you because if you knew
You would hate the world around you
Or you would ignore it
Or you would change it...
Now which one will it be?
