Middle Way

poem by: John Prophet
Written on Jul 03, 2024 

Middle way.
Pendulums
swing.
Back and
forth.
Left,
right then
back
again.
Short
sighted
thinking.
Victories
had.
Push
to extremes.
Then back
again.
Up then
down.
Left then
right.
Upheaval.
Over and
over.
Human
nature
playing
out.
Civilization
teeters
as a
result.
Maturity
needed.
Compromise.
Not us
versus
them.
Enlightenment
required!
The
middle way,
is the
way.
