TRUTH IS FAR KINDER

TRUTH IS FAR KINDER

I try to be kind
But sometimes I’m not
Truth is more vital
When kindness cannot,

I’m not kind to myself
Or to other men
When kindness will limit
The good we expend,

Kindness is gracious
Kindness is high
But kind isn’t always
Well-reasoned or Wise,

The Truth is the kind
Of kindness I must
When men are most ruled
By corruption and lust,

So kind will I strive
To be great in my deeds
But in service and pledging
To Truth I accede…
