          KINDNESS AND CRUELTY
           By ... Steve Lucky

Words one uses every day
Can build people up or tear people down.
Even when used in a casual way,
They can make people smile or make people frown.
Sometimes words can be spoken or typed
By one not thinking about the result.
Such poorly used words should not be hyped.
If they are, who is really the one at fault?
The words one uses with kindness
Are the words that should be remembered.
Bringing cruelty only leads to a mess.
Only kindness can stop it once it has occurred.
Kindness and cruelty exist in us all.
One must prosper, the other should fall.
