Imminent Is Proper Punishment

Losses will surely occur
If carelessness is there
To prevent them fully
Let precautions be taken

Just by easily forgiving
We justify a bad act
Safety it may endanger
No use in regretting later

If pardon is easily given
Instead of punishment
We lose our respect
As next crime will arise

Mercifully if we consider
Violating norms or morals
We will be surely affected
Due to our forgiving nature

If we punish not the guilty
And make them roam free
Then we blind our eyes
Without any self-sympathy.
