Those cruel to animals can be cruel to people they find their pleasure on inflicting pain <br />For cruelty to the cruel is a power thing gratification from seeing their victims suffer they gain <br />Cruel people they have lost their human compassion the window to their soul shaded to light <br />They even are bordering on the psychotic in distinguishing on what is wrong from right, <br />Those cruel to animals surely are powerless people when they behave in such a cruel way <br />If you are cruel to poor defenceless creatures respect to human life you cannot pay <br />The people who have genuine compassion could hardly bring themselves to harm a fly <br />The right to life to any living creature is something they would not wish to deny, <br />Those cruel to animals are themselves quite cowardly they are the people that are not hard to cower <br />What causes them to be cruel in the first place is that they feel helpless in their lack of power <br />They get their kicks in causing animals to suffer and derive great pleasure from their cruelty <br />In some ways they deserve for to be pitied since they seem to have lost their humanity, <br />Yes the people who cause animals to suffer a saving grace in them is hard to find <br />And without reflecting far too harshly on them they do little for the race of human kind.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/those-cruel-to-animals/
