Freeing Kindness

Image: origin unknown

Fear, like the cockroach,

runs and scuttles through darkness

and time,

present somewhere

in the vast universe of psyche,

multiplying and mutating

to multiply even more.

It births racists, sexists, murderers,

and those who believe progress

is all about

- more.

Kindness, now that is the

rare animal indeed;

Hunted, exploited, captured

in a cage labeled, “weakness.”

I want to set it free,

and make love with it.
