Kindness

Where has kindness gone in this digital age When there is online ranting on nearly every page Faceless cowardly scalding of whoever we please Hurtful words that are pointed are not just a tease Adults relish it, oh yes they do Picking holes in an unfortunate few Our media ranting is contagious and bad It escapes from our keypads and makes us all mad, Cursing and swearing at the NHS Staff Hatred of Teachers and the Admin staff Put yourself in their shoes for a moment in time. Turning up and working from 9 until 5 Do you make every action, how you want it to be? Do you say every word, like it was scripted for me? No, we do our best and sometimes its lacking Now a what's app target wanting you sacking It snowballs and breeds like an evil disease. People bad mouthing you, to varying degrees Maybe you're perfect, from dawn until dusk I'm not and I'm fragile without that tough husk Do unto others as you would wish done to you You could be next, just one bad choice or miscue If justice is needed I'm not saying don't stand up Just do it with dignity, manners and with luck. When you are the target other will redress
