Explore "The World is Full of Kindness" by Henry Lawson on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
THE WORLD is full of kindness -- / And not the poor alone; / We Christians in our blindness / Bow down to hearts of stone; / The clever, bitter cynic, / Whose poisoned "soul" is dead, / And, like the rotten clinic, / Raves, helpless, on his bed.
The world is full of kindness -- / But not the White alone; / The heathen in his blindness / Bows down to wood and stone; / But all men are his brothers, / In spite of all the "Powers," / And the things he does for others / Shew whiter souls than ours.
