For once, be kind, o’ spiteful netizens
Let the river of kindness flow
Through the digital lands where emotions grow

Stop, o’ hurtful netizens, lay down your thorns
Release the arrows that ill will adorns
For each word you cast is a stone that flies
Creating ripples of pain under clouded skies

For once, be kind, o’ spiteful netizens
Unravel the threads of rancor’s tense skeins
Free the malice that taints your words
Let compassion bloom where discord girds

Be nice, o’ hurtful netizens
For in your wake there’s a trail of bruised emotions
And wounded dignity follows through
As insolence was a tempest unswayed

Pause, o’ spewers of animosity
Consider the weight of your toxicity
In the virtual realm, let grace be found
With keystrokes, we craft a digital space
A mosaic of stories, a diverse embrace
Let your words be a beacon, a guiding light

For once, be kind, o’ spiteful netizens
Dim the fury and let solicitude flow
In this vast network, let’s strive to connect
With words that illuminate and respect intersect

Halt, o’ belligerent netizens
Embrace a moment of tranquil reprieve
And bask in the calmness of being
Let hearts mend and blend
Release the wrath, let care rise
In kinder verses, let harmony twirl

O’ dear netizens, let your voices mend
From the ashes of hate, let understanding ascend
Let not your words be the storms that rage
But rather the winds that turn a new page

For once and all, be kind, o’ netizens
Be as the moon, reflecting gentle light
Guiding lost souls through the darkest night
For in kindness, true strength resides
