The Kindness that killsd
Ruby Tongbram *
On my walk through nature's farm
A cocoon saw, filled with vibrancy
Of life
Which wriggled now; It wriggled then,
Constant struggle; A move hopeless!
Sprung a pity, a well deep insided
My human heart, the ice that melts
Shared my concern, loaned a hand
In kindness shrouded; I tore that mane.
An act of kindness? Or so I thought…
But much shocked my eyes the scare
that followed,
The bright life so now to begin,
Tragic ended sooner it could flip
Its wings.
My kindness thus, a creation killed;
Intention though free of evil stains and
Marked by love's concern.
The kindness sometimes, so
Hidden inside,
Much saves life that the kindness
So takes!
