Be Kind To All Creatures Poem by Francis Duggan

Be kind to all creatures scaly, furry and hairy
From the blue whale to the singing canary
They too like us were born for some reason
And bring forth new life when in their breeding Season
Be kind to pigs, sheep and birds and cattle
For to survive they do have their own battle
Eventually we kill them for to eat them
At least with dignity we ought to treat them
For them like us the sun sets and rises
Be kind to creatures of all shapes and sizes
We share the World with them we are not their ruler
Those cruel to creatures to people no less crueler
Be kind to all creatures scaly, furry and hairy
From the blue whale to the singing canary.
