Sonnet-Don'T Be Cruel

You hit a snake right on its head and kill; Don't torture hitting it along its length; For cruelty to man and beast by will; Is unforgivable in any strength. How can one torture creatures that are live; You shouldn't cause pain by Third Degree Methods; His basic rights, no one can man deprive; You kill but never wound and watch the Birds. How can a man be thrilled by causing pain? To watch with joy a man suffer is sin; A cruel man must be given the cane; A heartless soul can Heaven never win. A cruel heart gets cruelty in turn; And when he dies, no one will take his urn.
