April 26 — A Poem A Day
Tradition vs. Innovation
One advocates change.
The other stands on its laurels.
One wants total renovation.
The other is content with the status quo.
One wants to maintain.
The other wants to destroy and rebuild.
Each seeks total control.
Debate, their first-born child,
Is abandoned.
Compromise, their next-born,
Is rejected.
Hope, spontaneously aborts.
Triumph, withers in the womb,
Unconceived.

Miscommunication indeed. Not exactly a happy topic today, but I suppose they can’t all be happy. Why can’t they all be happy, damnit! LOL
But I hope that you had a happy day! 🙂

You are sooooooo deep! That was wOnderful… I haven’t written mine yet – but it’s late and I don’t have a brain left in my head… mine won’t be like THAT!!!

Deep? Nah. Just cynical!
very interesting poem. It reminded me of part of the storyline in the book “Angels & Demons”. We do tend to fight ourselves. Boots on the beach?
