Kindness over evil


Teachers live in a miniscule bubble

They know not of their student's trouble.

From brawling with fists to the cruelty of the spoken word,

The silver tongue's sting proves sharper than any sword.

 

Many construct a mighty shield

to protect against evil's grunts

But all who defy will wither and yield

to the torment of their malignance.

 

Together, however, Hope remains.

That the niceties of one turned all will transcend

and from the world evil will wane.

 Kindness will prevail for evil will end.
