Be kind not nice… – (Weekly Haiku Prompt #453)

Don’t be nice, be kind,

Being nice means standing by – 

Don’t fog the difference.

-o0o-

Don’t fog the difference,

Being kind means standing up – 

With a strength of will.

-o0o-

With a strength of will, 

Challenge hard the status quo – 

Seek out the bully.

-o0o-

Seek out the bully,

Illustrate a better case – 

Don’t be nice be kind.

  1. What does it mean to be “nice”? Is it standing by, or is it fogging the difference? Being kind means standing up, but is that with a strength of will or with being nice? Is it challenging the status quo, or is it standing by? And finally, is it illustrative of a better case, or is it just being nice?
