Distance is Relative
If you grow up in the same house,
separated by rooms,
does that make you friends for life?
Not always.
If you share DNA,
separated by age,
are you bonded and close?
Not always.
If you live in the same town,
separated by streets,
do you partake in each others lives?
Not always.
If you live on the same planet,
separated by a call,
do you talk often?
Not always.
If you are both alive,
separated by anger,
do you forgive?
Not always.
If one of you is gone,
separated by death,
do you mourn?
Not always.

ReplyDeleteIf one learns to speak
ReplyDeleteCan they still praise without words
Not always
How sad and true. Simple and poignant.
ReplyDeleteIt always amazes me how people who share the same DNA, can be so different, so 'far' from each other. Witty title too! I like this :)
ReplyDeleteUndiluted poetry keeps on rolling, eh?
ReplyDeleteIf one of you cares,
but the other does not,
does that mean there's no love?
Not always.
Rock n' roll.
Bleh.
