Individuality
A balance of night and day
An equinox
Or so they say
A perfect harmony of light and dark
Can one create equilibrium,
Or balance the forces
Acting on someone's heart?
We don't value individuality
We wish everyone was the same
No fortune, no fame
No poverty, no pain
A society where everyone "gets their share"
But is "equal" really fair?
Never giving people a chance to discover their talents
Forcing everyone to live in balance
Where their is no one to help the poor
Because the unique gift of kindness is no more
Equality is important,
A great deal so
But personality is worth far more than you know
We shouldn't try to balance beauty, creativity, or art
The thing never balanced is our hearts
And that is the home where everything resides
Our voice, our fears, our loves, our minds
If all this comes from an unbalanced place,
Then trying to make everyone the same is a disgrace
Yes, we should all be equal,
All worth the same
But that's far different
Than some child's game
Where we take our "cookie cutter" version of reality
And completely erase individuality
