On Cruel People
I can find no excuse whatsoever for cruelty
Signifying an absence of compassionate acuity,
Especially meanness toward little children
And unnecessarily hurting animals, a villain,
With no empathy for the suffering such brings
Seemingly unaware of the jabbing, bee-like sting,
Bullies who delight in another’s discomfort
They don’t seem to care whom they hurt,
Building themselves up with an air of superiority
Clearly, while they suffer feelings of inferiority.
I can find no excuse whatsoever for cruelty,
The complete absence of compassionate acuity.
