The Crown of Cruelty
In a realm where kindness has vanished,
Where no light dares to appear,
The echoes of darkness reign,
Majestic and cruel in their sphere.
Sharp tongue, slice like a knife in depth
as you speak.
A flashy eye glare soothes your skin
as you walk past.
Words are full of deception, discrimination,
hatred of your color, identity as you-a settler
in their shadowed kingdom.
Lost in the darkness, I was once
But a spirit lifted me up.
A silent brawl without harm,
Choosing peace, lighting hearts
With outright kindness and love.
