Some Would Say "Kill It"

Some Would Say Kill It

“It's only a mouse” some people would say,

A life we gave a new life today.

Some would say “Kill it! It's vermin, a pest.

Kill it along with all in it's nest.”

Some would say “Kill it, it'll bring you dis-ease

It's far too impractical to catch and release.”

If they choose to call us idealistic fools,

They may,

For we gave a life a new life today.

“It's only a junkie” some people would say,

A life that was given a new life today.

Some would say “Kill it! It's vermin a pest.

Make sure it won't breed, won't make a nest.”

Some would say “No hope it'll ever have worth

“So prevent it from ever creating new birth”

If they choose to dehumanise people,

They may,

For a life was given a new life today.

“It's only a migrant” some people would say,

A life that was given a new life today.

Some would say “Kill it! It's vermin a pest

“Let it drown in the ocean along with the rest.”

Some would say “You must fear all it might do

These creatures lack worth like me and like you.”

If they choose to sanction murder,

They may,

For a life was given a new life today.
