FLAWS AND ALL
When we see the worst
and accept the flaws
can we begin
to love each other at all.
We are fooled and lust over spokes people.
Actions are ignored. Words are adored. It’s positively great to imagine everyone in a perfect state.
But the universe has balance
and for every up there is a down.
For every rich there is a poor.
Every sickness has health.
You can’t know what a coin is
until you see both sides.
Skunks and bugs need hugs
as much as baby ducks and marshmallows do.
To accept all the world as such
is to see what’s true.
Even though it would love to murder you
you can love a tiger
once you know what it is.
