Kindness


Kindness


Kindnesses can be rendered unto others based

Upon both honest and dishonest motivations.

We often confuse them. For example, to give a

Meal to someone who hungers is often thought

Of as a small kindness of little actual importance,

Because it costs us relatively little. In reality,

However, to someone whose distressed, starving

Body cries out for the life sustaining benefits of a

Full belly, a meal may represent infinite largesse.


Just as, endowing a charity with a grand bequest

Or a large cash donation can, actually, be rooted in

Exploiting tax advantages for financial gain, or the

Social recognition and advancement earned by the

Wide perception of their philanthropy, whether

Motivated by selfish ends or not.


And, in reality, will be of little worth as acts of

Kindness because they were given for dishonest

Motives to achieve ulterior benefits.

Narcissism’s Greatest Philosophaster:


Narcissism’s Greatest Philosophaster:


Has clueless disregard for opprobrium and
Supports mighty, uninformed, TV wisdoms.


Has needs compounded by insecurities which
Regulate paucity of purpose and find ersatz proofs.


Uses obscene, offensive strategies to unfairly battle
Opponents for shallow, stolen pyrrhic victories.


Has armies of enemies who’ve been vanquished
By loud nonsense of dilute proportion.


Is adored by legions of castaway minds that
Treasure comeuppances suffered by effete liberals.


Can, if unchecked by the forces of wit and reason,
Bring into being a world of hurt never known before.


Where kill or be killed will rule the day, and the nights
Will be frigid with fears that prayers will not allay.


And then we’ll be writ in history’s cruel record of hatred,
When angry, poisoned spite shadowed love’s light.


Only this time will be different. We’ll have leapt off
A precipice of sorrow. And tears will never flow again.
