Cruelty

Writer's picture: JF BierleinJF Bierlein

Cruelty is the compulsion of the wounded to wound,

The harmed to harm

The abused to abuse

The exploited to exploit

The sad to sadden

Cruelty is the admission of having a hole in the soul

Through which the soul’s humanity has leaked

And found places where it is more welcome.

Cruelty is demonic possession

By a painful past

The greatest victim of cruelty is this drained soul

Which can never be satisfied until filled with something better.

Cruelty is the cry of the empty

Trying to steal from the complete

To fill that hole in the soul.

The tragedy is that it never does.

Teach your child that he is worthy

Teach your child that she matters

And spare the world one case of cruelty.
