there is nothing of value on the other side of humanity…

not the one who screams for kindness

is the one who shows it

because it takes a lot more to demonstrate it

without raising your voice, with telling the truth

understood

not called rude;

what’s rude about displaying the obvious

whilst you strip people of it?

pointing, with the politest voice

that you’re not enunciating the right words

for the syllables that come out of your mouth

they’re more insulting than mine

and you push it to the limit

all the concerns I had to make

working according to the rules

so, I don’t quite fathom

what are your actions for?

to deprecate, to diminish, to deride

get hollow splinters

from broken communication?

this is not even worth happening

causing pain in my chest

unendurable

filling it like lead

to start fighting this

heavyweight

of all humankind

who should shut its mouth forever

if it doesn't know what its rights are
