Kindness Poems
Sublimation
by Joe Cyr
A person's life should undergo constant sublimation;
that's the secret to fulfilment, in my estimation.
Refine yourself more each day by doing a special favor
that's unexpected, but appreciated with joy and savor.
Perform good deeds daily;
on someone confer a nice surprise.
Smile at a complete stranger to echo joy in smiling eyes.

Neglect
by Michael R. Burch
These are poems about the homeless and the downtrodden, and poems about the need for compassion, kindness, understanding and tolerance.
Neglect
by Michael R. Burch
What good are your tears?
They will not spare the dying their anguish.
What good is your concern
to a child sick of living, waiting to perish?

As cool as cucumber
by Hafiz Qasim
Before someone pushes you into the ring of rivalry
Plunge yourself into the valley of forgiveness
Not only the neatness of habiliment counts
but also neatness of heart
If you could get coolness of heart
If you could try getting coolness of mind
There are chances you become superfine

Show Some Mercy
by Mohammad Harish
I belong to a world
that has not yet been destroyed;
it will soon, if they go this speed—
it is all because of some people's greed.
The world I belong to
is getting ruined; they need
more greedy hands to reach out each day,
to tear this gentle world away.

Loving Hearts Show Kindness
by Evelyn Judy Buehler
Kindness is a thing that gives love its wings. Often it comes
from people you know and love, but sometimes it comes from a
stranger most unexpectedly, surprising the recipient, and even
the giver as well, for how we react to crisis, only time can
tell. A split second act of courage has saved many a life, at
the rescuer's own peril. Loving hearts are caring, feeding the
hungry and caring for the sick. Loving hearts are champions
of humanity, always striving for the best in humankind. The
teachings of Jesus and kindness are in perfect harmony, like
the moon is in harmony with the night.

I don't give to receive
by Mario Odekerken
I don't give to receive.
I give because it moves through me,
like water finding its path.
What leaves my hands
was never meant to stay.
I do not count what returns,
only the quiet leaves behind.
Peace is a Masterpiece !
by mv venkataraman
Please give and take peace,
Ease others during life-lease,
Knees-bending need no fees,
Cease to hate, love you seize !

do you have a heart?
by Odelia Grace David
It’s cold, really cold.
“Gosh you talk a lot,”
“Philosophy, politics, just shut up.”
Not a snow cold, or a sweater cold.
Maybe it's not the weather that's cold, thought about it?
Maybe it's your heart, or you who's cold.
“Gosh don't be so sensitive, don't overthink it.”
But if you aren't mad about it, have you heard it?
If you aren't sad, did you see it?
If you don't mind, do you feel it, do you even breath?

A Stranger's Prayer
by Nkwachukwu Ogbuagu
Silly wisps of her raven hair flutter
In the winds of the long-short corridor of summer;
They snivel with the whims of cosseted sots,
Sinking in the futile harmony of winking beasts.
Pretty whiskers, soft with the ague of age, and lean
From frazzled grey.
A halo of white cotton crowns her fine dome, revealing little.
She paints the inky images of Al Hirschfeld —
Among whited, slit, black smuts needed for art’s emphases.
The greens of the season, lush and dreamy,
