Quatrain of Punishment Works - 12075

Punishment Works

Punishment might toughen resistance
but it works when hardened
resistance is
broke,

If a man is not shown how to behave
at an early age, his learning
becomes a mere
joke.

It would be great if there be a way to
edifyingly teach the mind
not to hit others for
spite,

There are times when a good thrashing
is the best way to show
who is wrong, who is
right.
