We are told kindness kills
In the depths of war
In the tumult of regimes fallen
In the ash of split minds, bodies
We are told kindness is how we should be
In archaic, sterile Christianity
In twisted public opinion
In news fake, confusing, unknown
We are told who is evil
From corporations spitting acid in our water
From politicians wrapped blind with their own thoughts
From tv, where we forget about the rest of the world
We are told who is evil
But it is never us
We are told who is kind
And it is always us
And the voice of the world drips down the drain
Quiet to nothing, but those unkind
