🔰This work is a perfect example of a community coming together to create something beautiful. Iness (the narrator) commented in one of my previous uploads and after some discussion, she offered her voice to narrate this video and in my opinion, she did a bloody good job. Let me know what you think of this video and please be kind (pun intended)

🔰Be Kind by Charles Bukowski

 

we are always asked

to understand the other person's

viewpoint

no matter how

out-dated

foolish or

obnoxious.

one is asked

to view

their total error

their life-waste

with

kindliness,

especially if they are

aged.

but age is the total of

our doing.

they have aged

badly

because they have

lived

out of focus,

they have refused to

see.

not their fault?

whose fault?

mine?

I am asked to hide

my viewpoint

from them

for fear of their

fear.

age is no crime

but the shame

of a deliberately

wasted

life

among so many

deliberately

wasted

lives

is.
