Creature Karma
On the news was a man beating his cattle
It sickens me so this ongoing battle
For a human to hurt a helpless creature
Is so disgusting,our very worst feature
Saw a man kicking his dog one time
To me he'd committed a horrible crime
That poor pup hung his head and cowered
I screamed at the man and he just glowered
Like I was the one who was doing wrong
But he felt my glare as he moved along
And drowning kittens puts me in a fury
For this I will be judge and jury
Making dogs fight to the death
I get so angry I lose my breath
Bullfights in Spain just seem so cruel
Seems we forgot the golden rule
Another take on that phrase might say
Do evil to animals and you'll pay!
It might sound harsh but I don't care
I think swift justice is only fair
We share this world with them,it's true
And karma applies to animals too
