When the kind show kindness
The using use it.
The using are vicious
And violent.
They hate speech
And prefer lies.
They censor and silence
For they hate the free truth.
The kind speak truth
Gently at first
And then without mercy
When the cruel attack
Their gentleness
Necessitating
Severity
To defend the kind and weak.
The aggressor is she who spit
Not he who spoke.
One who cannot defend their point
Has no defense
And no point.
And so it is said
They who take up the sword
Will die by it
As their victims
Formerly helpless
Destroy the oppressor
So that we can have peace.
Thus the weak, the kind, the gentle,
Who hold to the principle of justice,
Become the warriors
Who destroy evil without mercy.
Remember always
It is the reasoned argument
That is the kindness.
Not the fool who babbles
Blind
And resorts to fallacies
To push their lies.
No one shall be excused
For tampering with this message
To excuse their evil-doings.
The kind are those who desire truth
Not passive injustice
Reason
Not feinting lies
Discussion
Not fleeing
Facing the facts
Not hiding from them
Kindness
Not vitriol
And beware lest ye misconstrue
I am kindness
And free
Gentle
And peaceful
And if ye lie, with your herd-like mentality,
Your obtuse tribalism,
Your unequal bigotry,
And do not face facts,
The facts face you.
