Balancing our ideas please!!!!!!

Balance

 

Upon our Earth

Live different race

Different color

Different face

 

Must we always live

In our black and white?

Where is the gray?

 

To far right

To far left

Is there no center yet?

 

Where is the wisdom?

Lest not forget,

The importance of our balance

 

If we can not search our heart;

Find our broadmindedness as a whole,

We will rip ourselves apart

With self-righteous intolerance.

*Believe me, I have been doing a lot of thinking. (For I have been known to only see my black and white. I’m trying to be more gray: compromise with other ideas.)                  We do not always have to agree with each other. That would be impossible, but, we can agree to disagree amicably.

If we all had the same thoughts and ideas, conformity would take its toll and the world  would become a very boring place. (not to mention...dangerous!)
