The Differences Are

by Michael Charles Messineo — Read all 96 poems by Michael Charles Messineo

Differences surround the life we live... regardless of your interpretation if good or bad. Don’t dwell on the differences to find fault… embrace the differences. Differences are what drives change for the future... Apple’s catch phrase created in 1997 by Steve Jobs simply stated… “Think Different”

Poem Artwork

The differences between this and that

are exact, the words do track.

The differences between them and us

are of trust, fake bonds earn rust.

 

The differences between here and there

are beyond compare, emotions flare.

The differences between happy and sad

make you mad, when choices bad.

 

The differences between right and wrong

are your song, corrections long.

The differences between first and last

are the past, betray next task.

 

The differences between hear and listen

are not forgiven, with lost impressions.

The differences in these thoughts

are what’s bought, instead of sought.

 

The differences between you and me

are what you see, not reality.

The differences are... just that... differences.

Amen! Reminds me of the adage (paraphrase), life is 10 percent of what happens to us and 90% of how we handle it.

That really applies to the phenom of "congested rush hour traffic." (smile)
