It was the maddest donkey
In the market did arrive
So much beaten
And overworked it was
Foaming at the mouth
The beast did do
I wondered why
Men should be so cruel
It ate people's clothes
And chased them all over
It kicked all wares
And brayed so loud
All it had carried
Had long been spilled
I wondered why
Men should be so cruel
All nice soothes
Fell on deaf ear
The donkey was mad
And needed nothing in return
It kicked at anything
It saw on site
It ran into an old woman
And trampled on her wares
I wondered why
Men should be so cruel
The donkey's body
Was covered in bruises
It was so emaciated
As if denied of food
The load it carried
Was beyond its energy
No wonder then
It turned insane
I wondered why
Men can be so cruel
Tired and exhausted
The donkey stopped the madness
It looked at the people
And brayed hoarsly
It was as if
It pronounced a curse
Then down it did lie
And breathed its last
I wondered why
People are so cruel
Men should learn from this adage told
To animals be caring and be kind too.
Exchanging niceties
Is all we dare
Treat animals well
They will have you to care
I wondered why
People are so cruel

Really amazing poem. People definitely don’t treat animals how they should always. Especially animals that work really hard for “no pay” like a donkey.
They are beaten thoroughly, underfed and mistreated. People should stop such
this is lovely! truly, we should treat any animals well.
Am grateful

I love animals, they can't talk but they can express feelings by their expression.
Sure indeed
I am against cruelty to animal it makes me feel sad if they do it intentionally
Animals need love. I also do not like people who mistreat them

Great post. Glad to see you on the 254 group. :)
Thanks for highlighting this, i hate it when people are cruel to animals. I always wish instant karma when i see someone beating an animal.!
wow! that is a subject close to my heart. Why are people so cruel... in particular it seems to be a trait in people who also abuse other people. Common respect for life is missing... I want people to get it back, and think about this world and how we live. Nice post
I just feel so sad when I see donkeys. No idea why.
@stbrians excellent prose highlighting the plight of these poor animals.. the first picture in the post reminded me of the donkey in shrek btw (no idea why)
