A Horse's Prayer

Here is a short poem that is good for us all to take to heart, no matter of our religion, Though I believe this is originally of christian origin, the message itself is fairly universal.

A man of kindness to his horse is kind,
But brutal actions show a brutal mind.
Remember he who made the brute;
Who gave thee speach and reason, formed him mute.
He can't complain, but God's all-seeing eyes
Behold thy cruelty, and hears his cries.
He was designed thy servant, not thy Drudge;
Remember his creator is thy judge.

I do not credit the author, because I found this scrawled in my notebook, and unfortunately I have no idea where I would have found it.
