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
