If you have in hand a carrot

Dangle it not

Before the starved.

If you hold a drink of water

Don’t spill it in view

Of thirsty who don’t have.

Power doesn’t lie

In tormenting the helpless.

Do not dishonor justice

Whilst children beg for salve.

Merriam-Webster’s word for June 16, 2018:

Tantalize

One does not become a leader

By swindling others for one’s seat.

Seeking fights reflects weak character,

Especially when it harms the weak.

True role models hold themselves

To higher standards,

Not bully others when they speak.

They called them “The Twins”

And termed them inseparable.

Though they each had a name

Using those seemed interminable.

There was ease in regarding

Two beings at once

When the duo rarely gave

Singularity a chance.
