Careful,

or someone you know might be accused of kindness

Snapping the length

and advancing for the sake of it all.

Use caution,

or you might feel a splinter of warmth

in the crevice of wood ice and hatred you label as a heart.

Do not open,

your arms, mind or smiles

unless permanently benefited by it.

it is just too much to ask-

to be good for the sake of it all.

Remain here,

that disgrace you are

too gentle

quickly melted by hope's comfort.

Weakness is there,

that one. get them.

Show them what it means to be helpful,

voiceless..worthless.

And don't forget

there's nothing more to it.

Remain passive,

alone,

distanced from that stupid, absurd, completely evil thing we call

kindness.
