Superior Beings
Humans are not like us
They are very hard to teach
We show them what we can
If it's within our reach
Some are quite cruel to us
They haven't yet evolved
If they could communicate
The problem would be solved
They seem a trifle dimwitted
Their language is complex
We learn what we can from them
But they don't pass the test
They don't seem to see it
Our language is not that hard
Instead they enslave us
and put us in the yard
We care to deeply for them
I don't know to what end
Destroying our environment
They never seem to bend
They chain and beat and torture us
and some they leave to starve
They keep us locked in cages
Our home is a backyard
We once were free and roamed the earth
and then we once thrived
But now they main and neuter us
Our offspring euthanized
When we meet the creator
of creatures far and wide
Our parts ensured in heaven
We will be in paradise
Our lot was given the die is cast
and we must persevere
The humans remain clueless
That is our biggest fear
But their future is still in question
They have ears but do not hear
If they can't learn to listen
to the bond which we hold dear
