In Most Human Behavior Poem by Francis Duggan

In most human behavior a pattern you will find
The person who is cruel to animals can be cruel to human kind
Between what is cruel and not cruel is not hard to define
And to what is inappropriate behavior some like to cross the line
The man who kicks and beats his animals allows violence in his life
It does not surprise to hear that such a person beats his children and his wife
Compassion and kindness does not have borders to all forms of life it does apply
Why this happens to be so no need to wonder why
Compassion and kindness are conditions of the mind
In a warm and caring person compassion for all thing you will find
With the saying of cruel to be kind i for one do not agree
As cruelty does not have borders that's how it does seem to me
Those who are kind to animals are kind to everyone
As kindness does not have borders when all is said and done
