The Juggling Act

The Juggling Act 

Street Art By Sam3

It can be such a struggle 

Juggling our relationships, 

Within our social bubbles, 

Our friends to us one offs, unique, 

Some social butterflies, others truly geeks. 

Each one interlocking creating 

Pieces in the jigsaw of our stories, 

Sharing in our tears and our glories, 

Yet mix them up, combine,

Give them some time, 

Leave them to mingle in a room, 

Some will find common ground, 

Others personalties will clash, go boom,

But within each, they allow us to feed 

On our need for what they have to give, 

It works both ways its also what they receive.

Friends shouldn't be exclusive, 

Yet true harmony amongst any pack, 

Is rare, precious and usually elusive !

Balancing The Impossible

Balancing The Impossible 

Good,evil, wrong or right 

Are they bad if it's not within sight ?

Cultural and social traditions,  

Black magic, old suspicions, 

Arranged marriages of submission,

Same sexes needing permissions.

Life existing in a deathly stance, 

Yet murders committed in a glance,

Those left, feeling devastated and bereft, 

There is no understanding of the human theft,

Created in the name of a god or idol,

Those Fierce fanatics turning suicidal !

Good,evil, right or wrong

The world may one day, sing the same song 

Gather together in harmony as a loving clan, 

Restore understanding, hope, a balance,

A united front, a global Yin Yang.

Little People,Big World

Given to us at birth,
The way we live on Earth,
In our colour, race and faith,
Always some who are born to hate.
Their adversaries are the same!

Bombs against life go flying,
While the young innocent ones lay dying,
Boys who have grown into men,
Tortured by their beliefs and fighting again.
They are all the same!

Both breathe the same air,
Have the same thoughts,
Both want the same,
Peace of some sort!
We are all the same!

Our globe is so big,
Their thoughts so small
They can't or won't see,
Its big enough for all
Are we all the same?
