Perfection is the Balance of Love

While pondering life evolving in a patriarchal society increasingly connecting people via the internet and the impact it has on crime against the less valued gender of our species I was inspired...

A life as perfect as we make it

Make: a four letter word

Love, work, life & know

What do we know?

What do we know?

About how to live

The right way of life

About what to love

About who to love and how much to love them?

What are our values which measure our love?

Our care

Our compassion

Who and what is worthy of our effort?

Shall we love the cars we polish or the t.v. shows we watch?

Shall we cherish our sweet treats and our bottles of booze?

How about our puppies made to roam and sniff we keep locked in our yards?

And you

You love seeing trees and streams and those walks are so good for your health

Is the walk down the concrete to more concrete leading you to a stream?

A real stream?

We love our children, so much joy they bring

And we send them away to schools so we can go to work

Our family is the most important thing and we need to make money to enjoy them

To be separate so we can be together

And tomorrow is never assured

But we have our hopes as time passes

We have our hope that beats fear

And yes our memories are always near

And when we are old we mostly regret having lived our lives how others thought we should live it

Instead of following our instincts

Instead of listening to our heart

Later we wonder what might’ve happened had we taken a left instead of a right that one time

If we had, oh how everything would be different now

But we didn't.

We only have today

Today to dream

Today to do

Today to be...

Everything we always dreamed we should be

All of us together, connected
