Animal

When describing bad behavior Or even a law breaker The worst epithet humans think for those not admirable Is to place on the miscreant a label of ANIMAL He's an ANIMAL they'll squeal As if animal describes an inmate from hell On this green earth after all the rantings and railings Never was an animal who behaved with any human failings

Elizabeth, Very well written and such an excellent, true point! Animals would NEVER think of behaving in the disgusting ways we humans do! Thanks for recognizing this and pointing it out!! Elisa

When I hear people referred to as "animal(s)" it really angers me and always has. Animals in no way resemble humans in behavior. Thanks so much Elisa for agreeing.
