Lopsided

7/24/20 "Lopsided" Folks being simple minded So blinded And staying one sided Meanwhile, life and death coincided Not every wrong was righted I guided Pathways were lighted And a helping hand was provided But still many remained divided Some were frightened Others caused violence As the sky brightened For once it was quiet, there was the sound of silence People in their own world, and on their own island Fires dying out or getting reignited Such is life, the scales often lopsided Disaster at times, when objects or lifeforms collided Some emotionless, others quick to anger or be delighted Some ready to tell the world, others would rather keep it private They're either compliant Or defiant Big brother and other giants Being tyrants Continual protests and riots Overhead a black cloud resided Being depressed, not once did I like it I had to fight this Never wanted to be reliant On medication to hide it Much more enlightened My senses heightened It's either in or out of alignment An ever-changing climate Bull.... was always uninvited Had to make sure it quickly subsided She wanted a ring and I wanted a watch with diamonds In a world so vibrant Far too many looking to pick a fight with Just about anybody because they're biased Hit them with Poseidon's trident Or make them walk the plank, like a pirate
