Cruelty has the clarity of kindness’s intentionality
and yet completely withdrawn from usage.
cruelty knows of the tenants of kindness
and abuses them in measured degrees.
cruelty has all of the means available of kindness
as if strings on a harp in hand
but plays them wickedly
as if disruption intended.
cruelty has the same stance as kindness
but abuses that position
from a claim of isolation
in launching their malice.
cruelty has all of the instruments
for the sympathy of kindness to play
but selects to orchestrate distance,
humiliation and rebuke.
as if to dance with cruel shoes
on a reality stage with others . . .
