Kindness

In a country where Shirley Davidson lives
people are going crazy
augmenting themselves with carefully curated
self-love, self -care, self -respect
and filling themselves with so much love that
lately it had been spilling all over

Newsflash
yesterday kindness exploded all over the country
after failing to keep it to themselves anymore,
the country civilians unabashedly took full responsibility of the same,
has also warned the rest of the world in the same breath
that this is just the beginning

People are being smothered with love and care,
smiles are being spread like wildfire,
animals are being sheltered at homes,
shopkeepers and hotels owners are being generous to beggars,
religions are hugging it out, sleeping together and chilling in living room sofa,
meanwhile,
He has been looking at the full blown massacre
down there and calling it Utopia

But the truth is
kindness IS spreading,
they are coming to you,
to us,
trailblazing like the showstopper
because
this time kindness isn’t soft, subtle and silent,
this time kindness is strong and screaming the gut out
against injustice,
kindness is brutally tearing down cold walls,
kindness is the rotten apple in the basket spoiling the others

I guess all we can do is take a deep breath,
be prepared
to witness our hatred within
being brought to its knees

Suffice to say that we are all screwed!
