Love Is Kind Poem by Thabani Khumalo

Kindness is tagged;
All benevolence is charged; nothing is free,
So everything is a slave to either one or the other -
Either one who sells or the one who buys.

I have declared in my soul that
I ought to brutalize myself
For I have not in possession
That which buys kindness.

Love is kind rather than all the hoaxed inditement about it
And it is pricey as I have foretold in the body of this tale,
If I have no finance in my stakes - how can you be kind to me?
How can I be kind to myself?
