Two complete sentences linked only by a comma.

The second half isn't an independent clause.

"It's required but not exhibited properly."
Looks independent.

Seconding this.
Why would you add a comma to a perfectly good sentence like "Kindness is like underwear.", anyways? If so, where's the conjunction?!
"Kindness is like underwear, because it's required but not exhibited properly."
or
"Kindness is like underwear; it's required but not exhibited properly."

Kindness is like underwear depends on the second sentence ;p

Me or him?

Oh. Thought you wanted to say that the colon was wrong and that the semi-colon was right.

Colons, semicolons, and commas are often disregarded in poetry.

Quote:Poetry (from the Latin poeta, a poet) is a form of literary art in which language is used for its aesthetic and evocative qualities in addition to, or in lieu of, its apparent meaning.
