Be Kind
So simple
We know it's right
Although at night
People alter, positiveness wanes Anger creeps
Finds a crevasse Then it peaks
Momentarily slow
Are we weak?
Why?
No one knows...
But within some it grows...
Being kind
It seems so simple
We know it's right
Somewhere it grows, a hidden black pearl awaits
Waiting,,, demise intensifies
Daring to be let out.
Danger will specify its prey
A long forgotten misdeed now the scalpel for cutting deep
Others' dismay. Turn the other cheek they say. Only inviting more pain.
The forced smile, its new reflective moment,
Yesterday
once placed in a neat compartment now examined in full view.
Collaboration & camaraderie replaced with sharp cutting barbs.
Doubt creeps slyly
Finding nothing yet still obliterating innocent hearts in its wake
Welcome Divisiveness;
Our Enemy.
Born from transparency trust and unintended consequences
Now in the fray
what was once family lies one individual after another fighting for another day.
We requested transparency. Thought we were ready
We invited the premise but the powerful had an excellent alternate implementation suite.
Only expose them to what WE think they need to know
A Disease within Cure We got what what wanted but gave away our power.
What now?
Get it back.
Here come the tears the lyin is flyin once clear
now is fear
It was always there
but we invited and now in our lair
We pray for fair.
They say "have hope" already decided THIS was more than was bargained for.
Now negativity reigns
Ruining all that trains
because this group got what was asked.
Deflecting the truth has become a hidden obsession
more danger but it's another's dismay today
They; head down walk away
Divisiveness; Enemy Seat at the table
a place in camp
Disease within the cure
Wait...
Maybe we were right
Defend the truth.
Stand our ground
Demand Equality.
No one said this was easy.
Be Diligent
Be Smart
Beware
But most importantly
Be Right
Stay on the side of truth.
Be Kind, so simple
Love is the Answer
