KINDNESS IS SWEET

Kindness Is Sweet

(to a greedy warmonger)

When People Buy your Lies, they feel aFraid, and That's the Way you'd have your Suckers Be. And You, you're Scared ya Haven't Got it Made; your Greed's imPrisoned you, No-Way you're Free! It Must be Lonely, There inSide your Cell; if You ain't There, its There you're Headed For! Your Deadly Fears creAte your Special Hell – you ain't conTent, you're Always Cravin' More!

But Me, I've done some Evil stuff, mySelf, so I can't Claim ta Be so Lily-Pure; and I can't really Judge noBody Else – but Buddy, You been CHEATin' Folks, fer Sure!

So When you Count your Cash beFore ya Sleep, and Poor folks Pray ta Have eNough ta Eat, just Know that What ya Sow, you're Gonna Reap, and KINDness, Not yer Selfishness, is SWEET!
