Stirring Kindness: A Senryu

A senryu on kindness

we disdain kindness

rage: this visage of power

now learn gentleness

The Paradigm of Rage

I reject the paradigm of rage 

Replacing that with kindness 

Seeking all the world’s beauty 

Then magnify it all 

A Meditation On Beauty, And Our Cruel Nature

Life’s immense beauty
Gets overshadowed sometimes
By crass destruction


It concerns me, at times, how much we prefer destructive rhetoric over the positive. There are times I wonder if we, as a group, know how.
