Society

Every kindness has a price
All will suffer for being nice
Loving is not something we do
Nobody else should come before you
All will take advantage of your kindness
People will label you stricken with blindness
Everyone kind will be taken as weak
If you harbor goodwill, your future looks bleak
Nobody just does good on a whim
The fate of the world starts to look grim
Nobody remembers how to care
Some want to love but they do not dare
Everyone has forgotten how to be good
When given the chance, nobody would
Everything pure goes up in a blaze
Waiting for someone to change the world’s ways

What an insightful poem! yet, the Nice shall inherit the earth (Matthew something, new revised embellished edition). Jesus said that, you think alike, lets take the world back, one kindness at a time!
