Cruelty


Cruelty beyond measure sometimes is...

Had it not intersected my life and heart directly, I would never have believed that evil is.

It awoke in a cradle of love.

I don't know what it is, or how it can coexist with life.

It is ruthless, relentless, without any mercy. It wants only to inflict maximum pain.

It seeks to kill love. It wants to destroy innocence. It never hears, it only speaks and acts.

My mind tries to understand it but cannot make sense of it. I imagine holding up a mirror to it. Can it see itself?
