Kinship
Why be kind?
Why model humane expectations
of the reasoned mind?
Theories of evolution say
strategies of the Golden Rule,
like birds in migration, fish in school,
move us all forward,
increase the common pie.
All well fed, well loved,
well and whole.
Why would we not embrace
that model?
Why favor divisive cries of
anger, bitter tears fed
by fears unfairly explored?
Why be kind in the face of
derisive mocking?
Fear's not unfounded to we
bearing wounds of sharp stones
flung in punishment as gossips
proclaim our sins.
Can we find and flow together,
name ourselves as kin:
we who are kind?

Yes. This is important. This is what we must do.
A thing that distinguishes kind and sensitive people ~ perhaps ~ is their silence?
Don't want to speak in case it hurts someone.
But we are not being kind to ourselves, because we are deeper than smiles.
And we are not being kind to others who yearn for something different.
