I was born blind
To
The joys
And
Could only see Life’s cruelty
But then you came
And
Brought back all the good to me.

hurting a puppy without a conscious
injuring a toddler on purpose
bludgeoning someone you once loved
a violation of humanity

Alone

	bleak
no color in my heart
	sad

   hidden
	behind doors

still exposed
	to all the cruelty
		of the wind

wish i could shed mine
just waiting for you to end
it give time a chance
cos the future ended back there

Temporary Cruelty

Grass begs for water
Feeling helpless, no extra
My funds are too tight
I am so sorry, dear grass
Can quench your thirst soon...I hope

Big Bite

It hurts to bite
Leaving the mouth 
Pain too goes away
The pain of crisis stays
Living in us,leaving not
What cruelty?
The tooth of life!

Be

Be kind but not weak
Be strong without falling into cruelty 

Be who you want to be without crafting a false identity 
Be someone worth knowing

The man invested in  total falsehood
killing without mercy, cruel insanity
the informal beasts have further pity
they only kill to eat as a simple mood

The cruelty I can't abide,
The type that we human beings hide,
Some put on a pleasant face,
While hiding thoughts, debased,
Making most feel sick inside.

The moment we all realize our compassion does not weaken us…
but only makes us stronger…

Human Nature

Virtue
Angelic compassion
Self-controlled, caring, understanding.
Integrity, ethicality; corruption, immorality
Undisciplined, neglecting, judging.
Demonic cruelty
Depravity

Cruelty

She was strong.
Blazing fire.
Hard as a diamond.
But somehow 
They broke her.
Into pieces,
So fine.
That 
Made it
Difficult for her 
To mend herself.

Relations

Lives entangled
When thoughts mingled
As time proceeds 
Left, no more obstacles.

Ugliness, we all hide
Insincerity, we abide
Under shells of cruelty 
Reality is concise.

Premium Member An Act of Cruelty

I believe that an act of cruelty
Is to take away a child's security
So let it be said
When two people wed
Make sure it's a certain surety

May we be blessed to understand
something that becomes more apparent as each new day is unfurled….
how we need less cruelty and tyranny
and more compassion and empathy in this world.

Is to take away child’s security
So let it be said
When two people wed
Make sure it’s a certain surety.

Mid Years Fate

Raindrops
Trickling down the windowpane
Thunderbolts
Sparking up the fire burn
Violent youths
Teaming up with the devil to reign
My personality
The victim of the system's cruelty

Premium Member A Sad Remembrance

I kiss her red honeyed lips
She allows the milk 
of my iniquity 
to wash over her
The pain of her sadness
washes away my cruelty
I leave my rifle at her feet

The World We Lived

Died in the arms of cruelty                                                
mummified...                                                                                    
rests in peace
