There is nobility in kindness.
To take your darkness
and resist the urge to give in to it,
instead becoming
the one they are shunning
for the wrong reasons
as you take their cruelty
and give them generosity.

It is a sinking ship
that sails amidst
all of this madness
and maintains
that which fools
struggle in vain
to take from them.

“Look out for yourself.

Keep quiet,
and bow your head.

Do not stand *****
or act with defiance.

Do not try and deny us
when we tell you
you’re all wrong.”

There is nobility
in staying true to who
you are
and who you strive to be,

especially,
when you live in a society
that just wants another
cog in the machine,
another out for themselves
sucker super psychopath
who likes to laugh
at other’s suffering.
