Two scenarios
  Balanced a plank
-We hold hands-
  at the middle
-Or I will stay-
  by my side
  And you go stay-
  on another

Competition

You be less
so
I be more

Cooperation

1+ 1 =3

It's peaceful today
No overwhelming emotions
Trying to leak out

It seems balanced
Life is not perfect
But it's not chaos
Despite everything happening right now, today seems normal. For that I am happy and thankful

Wanting so much, quickly turns to too much
Those who have much, don’t know what to do with so much
Greed and envy they invite
Long talks with eyes, that have seen too much
Hungry mouths on streets, empty bellies, cold feet, fake smiles, and sweaty palms
Street signs held by those who took too much
Left with nothing while standing for nothing
Victims of decisions
Living under a vision full of nightmares
Old scars that trace back to bad choices
Squeezing pennies out of dollars
While others throw dollars at hurt lovers
Wanting too much but not willing to pay attention, Life is a long sentence
And meditation is study hall
We are stuck identifying classes
But lack chemistry
Quick to jump to conclusions
like mathematicians
While producing too much in biology
Knowing about the human anatomy but fail to know who we ought to be
Let’s tip the scale and see what would happen if the have nots had more
And the rich were broke would that increase global peace or is that too much to ask for

I sit staring into the wind
With an empty mind
Clueless of what to think
Aimless of what to do .

This feeling troubles me
It vexes me .
I can't find the balance .

Can I do them together
Or do I have to choose
This can't be forever
Hell! What have I got to lose

The question isn't either this or that
The question, is can you bring them both under the same hat .

As I write this, I think I can
Well I have got to ,
For I am a man
Do I have to choose between my studies and poetry . I hope I find the right balance .

Understanding depth
light and dark tandem opposed
Panoptic balance

In the midst of the risk of chaos touching the soul, there sits a lone man. A man of old age that is in his own cage of peace far into the east with his koto at his side. Hidden in a world filled with troubled minds, and troubled souls. His fingers gently touch the twenty-five strings instrument, each chord

with access to another melodic chain. He lightly plays a chain
of notes that create a hypnotic melody that vibrates off into the snowy air. A pleasant scene of peace, as the music tells of passed stories of glory, that intertwines with a lost love. A gentle pluck here and a simple pause there

turns this song into a delightful melody to the ears to hear. The state of balance can be seen in his eyes, as his glare dances off into the white sky… His mind drifts into a rift in time, where samurais would clash steal. Feeling a sense of honor within every strike, an ancient world that strives to heal

with honor. A balance of right and wrong carried out by the blade, the instrument of justice in an injustice world. Yet lost in the past, time changes but the music he plays remain untouched by corrupt hands. The sand of time holds his notes with every grain of time that passes through the hourglass of life.

This simple tone that shares this chaotic time with a fresh coat of
snow on the grass, a white paradise for the world to see. A sea of snow cap mountains, encage this old musician to play his worldly lullaby into this cold scene.

But his fingers shake the coldness away as his passion keeps him
in gentle action to entertain nature itself with a simple tone he calls… Home…

If there truly is a balance, then for all the love we put out, there must be an equal amount of hate.
Love and hate can never truly conquer each other, so we're forced to balance on the middle of a teeter totter that only gets faster and thinner as time takes its own separate toll on the body.
I've been assured that life is a gift, but what is a gift to someone who doesn't like to receive but would rather give..?
And quite frankly, I'd rather give up.
