They say pride makes you taller
but you won't get any taller than Mount Everest
or sink so deep in your pity
that you find yourself somewhere in the Mid-Atlantic Ridge;
You're fine, you're just, you're in the middle.
That's human, my dear, we were meant to stay here.
Stay near
Towards each-other
to help, love, and grow
Even if you're sitting on the highest of thrones
Or stooping in the lowest of slums,
You're on the same surface of the Earth
and you'll have to succumb
to being buried in the same dirt.
The sky humbles towards a prideful erupting mountain,
and a calm meadow hides away from an erroneous storm;
Knowing that even their anger, happens once or twice
and evermore
Since nature can run its course
But the dwellers must find balance between the two;
Because the Creator, was indeed,
very generous
to me and to you.
