Words Of Balance Poem by Biff McGuire

Depressing when you’re a little to happy
Good for a laugh when you’re down
Helping love escape it’s shackles
Politics under a microscope
Applauding nature
Loving life
Condemning industries rape
Hating life
Tales of personal history
Success, failure, self destruction
Addressing elements of justice
(or, lack of them)
Our words are the counter weights
Placed carefully as needed
To balance fairly
The scale of humanity
