Kindness
“Kindness” written by Naiomi Shihab really relates to humanity in the current time because kindness is a big part of humanity and is what keeps us in peace. In the poem she talks about kindness and how you must feel a loss before you can know what kindness feels like. People of this generation don’t treat each other the same and are very judgmental even though we are all human. A little act of kindness can go a very long way and doesn’t take much effort to do. Even something as little as holding the door open for someone can make their day that much better. Humans thrive on kindness and without it our planet would be a mess. The meaning of the poem is that we need to feel cruelty to really appreciate kindness from others even in small acts.
