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!)
