Sonnet: Protect Human Lives First

Sonnet: Protect Human Lives First A human life is more precious than else; Kindness to beasts is good but has limits; Endangered lives by rabid dog-bite tells; No road is safer when studded with pits! Why protect animals wild free in towns? All risks to human life must be annulled; You shouldn't save monkeys, snakes, street-dogs like clowns; Efforts to protect men must be channeled. We must not cruel be to beasts, okay; One human life carelessly lost is crime; Security to mankind must well stay; Preserve the wild in forests dense as prime. Protecting human life is paramount; All other lives are next and need not count. Copyright by Dr John Celes 13-11-2014
