My Most Powerful Pet Hate Is Unkindness

Unkindness is My most powerful pet hate Possibly my only one This includes meanness, unfairness, rape, murder, cruelty to animals, impoliteness, disrespect, theft, swearing and bad manners Unless I am really in the swearing mood and no one is around. I hear you laughing, my sworn enemy. Oops! Was that unkind? Dhramn! Disrespect, disdain, disregard, and disapproval all fit under this umbrella. Whipping children with yardsticks, flyswatters, switches, and belts, and leaving animals tied up outside to die also fit under there Unkindness is my only pet hatred. People who are hurting the most have endured one unkindness or another I am sorry I called you my sworn enemy Can I now be your sworn friend? When you laughed at me you hurt me. This also told me that someone has been unkind to you. Do you want to talk about it? Poetry contest: It Really Gets me Going Sponsor: Kevin Shaw Written May 19, 2019

It is sad how much there is; and why do we share it? Why not just take it into the woods, kill it and bury it?
