~

The boy is just eight

He receives all the hate

All the anger

Invidious Envy.

~

Behold thus the Danger:

If one man, too many.

 

What bestirs of the Breast

Which Hides within Heart?

 

Or the Head

When a Soul

Is just Dead?

 

What Moves

Such a Man

To Physical Violence?

 

Nature?

Nurture?

 

A Mental Imbalance?

 

What Flows Forth

To Future,

Where Blocked by

Intolerance?

 

~

Simple Forgiveness.

Small Acts of Kindness.

 

Definition of Difference

Twixt the Human and Beast.

 

Live to Forgive;

Live and Let Live.

Forget

  That which matters

  the Least.

 

Be Kind to the Lad,

For Goodness Sakes,

  Please.

 

And the Boy

Will Impart

What he sees.

 

Kindess Returns

Abundance.
