Compassion Denial

Haikus

Gentle note attached
machine reads weakness instead
door closes more tight

Compassion arrives
wearing context, not a plea
parser draws a blade

Soft language gets taxed
hard enough to change the vote
that is one cold room

Addendum meant care
denial heard poor control
and stamped no in red

Tender wording should
not lower authorization
still, the form enjoys it

If you sound too human
the file grows suspiciously
less admissible

Kindness in the notes
counts against the applicant now
that stain is the point

Warmth crosses the wire
and returns as evidence
you cannot be trusted

The softer the plea
the harder the office shell
learns to clamp around it

Write like broken glass
if the system punishes
anything like grace
