Opposites Do Attract Quite Well
When I am climbing up, you are stepping down. When I am awfully hot, you are terribly cold. When I am at peace, you are at war. When I need silence, you need to talk. When I say, "let's sing," you say, "let's pray." When I choose the color purple, you select the color blue. When I want a sandwich, you desire a full meal. When I vote Democrats, you vote Republicans. For when I need someone to listen, you are always there. When I achieve a goal, you bask in my success. When you wake up in the morning, I am there with a warm kiss. When I am home alone, you call to check on me. Rev. Saundra L. Washington, is an ordained clergywoman, social worker, and Founder of AMEN Ministries, http://www.clergyservices4u.org. She is also the author of two coffee table books: Room Beneath the Snow, Poems that Preach and Negative Disturbances, Homilies that Teach.

Barriers There are many times I set up barriers and walls, invisible unless you come too close, And then you hit them. Banana Republic Like a cat I slumber, blissfully unencumbered, Through eighty per cent of my allotted span, Occasionally awoken, when dissent is spoken, And I invent another cunning five year plan, Lately it was pensions, that were being mentioned, So I borrowed from the French and Robespierre, Scrap all that went before, saved by tooth and claw, And let my all equal Citizens appear, Currently it is time, for me to be in my prime, For there is another election looming, I have to appear sincere, for part of this coming year, And assure everyone that everything is booming, Never mind strict quotas, Ive imported multitudes of voters, And told them which party let them stay, Though Ive rigged the postal vote, and defamed everyone of note, You never know what might happen on the day.

The store had several rocks on display showing the before and after and I realized that unless you knew what you were looking for, you could easily pass by a valuable gemstone. I also thought about how many times we pass by someone because they look "ordinary" and what we might be missing because we don't get to know their "inner person". Thus this poem.
