What's Balance
2/11/11
In ever changing world
people find necessary routines,
for most around work
then shoehorn extracurricular activities
if time, after chores,
things that must happen
to support meeting ends,
the avalanche of bills
coming to visit monthly,
where frequently there's neglect
in mind, body, spirit,
when managing pent emotions
deemed inappropriate or disruptive,
inconvenient to say least,
while holding strict reins
to adapt into society,
even as we resist,
subtly surfacing passive aggressiveness,
tension, stress, often dissipated
through pressure release valve,
our mouths, words spoken,
shouted, screamed, disgusted with
capitalist military industrial complex
keeping us forever teetering
between sanity and insanity,
asking ourselves, 'What's balance?'
