[b]Catching Flies[/b] A petty thing; isn't it? The concept that being sweet to all Is best than being sweet to none? What source raised this point What drone ran their mount? True man is drawn to kindness Shuns the doubt Walks to the light And casts the dark with glory's might. Yet what endless seams Bear and Break When the kind can no longer Bear and Take. Spent so much time Preaching the sweet No time teaching How to break Teeth. No time teaching For when a woman is brought to her hands Her knees Scraping Screaming Pleading "Sir, no, Not me!" She asks why Knowing she is kind Kind to all And thus she must be broken. In a society captivated by Beauty, Royals, the Unspoken Are we not responsible For the horrors we cause By teaching and professing What will only be our fall?! Windows shatter Clothes in tatters When the Kind are plucked from existence. With no more to be said Other than "They were kind, t'is a shame they are dead." When the Kind are plucked from existence. And what hypocrisy Will we be When we find our own screams asking "Why are we, The Kind, plucked from existence?!" ~~~ By Me, ReaptheMusic Inspired by the idea of 'catching flies with honey.' In many countries, being kind can only get you killed. Yet even so, people are taught harmony, being neighborly regardless of how they may be taken advantage of, hurt, raped or even slaughtered. In a sense, people that commit crimes such as these know exactly how to 'catch flies' hence where this came from. I myself am more of a fly drawn to vinegar (Aiding people in need and subjects of darker themes.) I'm not the best poet in the world but I'm curious to see what you might think! ^^
