United Paths

So funny to see 
all judgments that hide,
through false honesty,
expressed within eyes.

Relive the same tale.
play a unique role,
Both male and female,
mirror every soul.

Some aggressively,
others peacefully,
act destructively,
behave gracefully.

Each being is sketched,
to follow routines,
molded so perfect,
to feed the machine.

Play parts in a scheme
designed for a fall,
hold up a clear dream
as blessings for all.

Held expectations,
no limitations.
Great aspirations,
create sensations.

Thoughts swim in the mind,
hopes live in each hand.
assist and define,
try to understand.

A plot with great twists
lead lifetimes we live,
learn to coexist
accept and forgive.
