If you had a friend

That didn’t have a home

Would you try and help them out

Or leave them on their own?

If you had a friend

Whose mother couldn’t cope

Would you offer up your help

Or simply wait and hope

If you knew a friend was starving

Didn’t have enough to eat

Would you offer up some comfort

Or watch their soul deplete

And if this friend had four legs

Instead of only two

Does that change how you would answer

Does it change what you would do?
