The Punishment Doesn'T Fit the Crime

You got really mad and gave my cat away. I'll be bitter at you for the rest of my days. I played hooky and you punished me for that mistake. Does it give you pleasure to see your son's heart break? In this case, the punishment doesn't fit the crime. Even if I try, my wounds will not be healed by time. My pain and tears should affect you but they do not. My cat was my friend and what you did hurts a lot. I'm sure that one day it will be something that you'll regret. It was a cruel thing to do to give away a little boy's pet. (This is a fictional poem.)
