Poem
Two way street a common road so much esteemed on the way one go's Those who build a world with hands and the bodies beaten to build those plans Others figure with minds of brilliance while charmers amass financial assistance Our world, our human existence. Dividends balanced in skewed proportion, like the honor of men who have heart or the hunt those who are trained to be manly men or the smooth handed man "that world" would shun Judge not cruel your fellow mate for side of track their life encamped what label worn or charity paid to each a lovesome splendor attached Behold the child with silver spoon who feels no affection by day or the orphans hair tenderly brushed for Samaritans pity long the way There beyond thou mansion fair a beauty is beaten, lonely and scared but she who wanders without a home can be cherished more than riches owned Our world, our human existence Forfeiture or dispossession affluent or highbrowed all the difference still remains to be loved or disavowed I've pondered the pages between their covers 'twas this simple fact I've found... our world is a quilt stitched by cultures a solitary thread woven within and without The difference is no difference at all except the heights from which one falls seams tear apart and like fabric lives unravel yet you'll never find a road left untraveled Nothing exists beyond a need and nothing is ever as it seems Our world, our human existence What then is that of highest value that which sparkles or that which lives The blessing found in every child or how massive an estate can be built? Traveled now in both directions paralleling both sides of the journey The greatest value one can attest is to walk either road with mercy Dignity lies estranged from pride for pride is a predator disguised One set in mind "I have arrived" and shames the value of another's life If on a one way street you'd rather tread your way without your brother go ahead judge a book by its cover Life is laden with countless pages none void of feeling or untouched Keep in mind the two way street... where direction giving life is TO LOVE
