Kindness is a kind of a thing
A curious thing it is..
A mind of its own, reclined on its throne
In the heart of her or his.
It'll come to u, for the poor n a puppy
For the guppy out of the fishbowl..
For the sick, for Gaza, for the shootings in the plaza
For Umar Khalid and his lack of parole.
But when it comes to being kind to the self
The back shelf is where it we keep,
We bully ourselves, from nines to twelves
"I'm an ugly fu** and beep beep beep"
I wish the kindness we show everyone
Was also self-inflicting
The one who lives in the mirror
Could also use some TLC-ing.
