A View To Kindness

I once took a stroll down the aisle of surrealism.
There I stumbled upon a fellow named kindness.
There he lay, coated with the throes of death.
His state reflected humanity to me, through a prism.
The needles of social distancing, shared with him, blindness.
Fear manipulated his arms and legs,  making them a wreath.

His skin was adorned with painful sores of selfishness.
The seats of authority placed him in enforcing chains.
His shriveled fingers cut off by the shears of survival.
I passed him by like many others, pushed by carelessness.
He then whispered to me, his voice explaining his pains.
His message carried on the view less wings of revival.

A little good, a little give, a little share, a little nice.
Can turn a solid beating mass of bloodied flesh.
Into a melting, fired up, piece of broken ice.
A little concert of care, by the thoughtful and wise.
Can light the bulb of hope and create a hospitality mesh.
Making joy and happiness, unlock the fountain of the eyes.
