Balance

A word understood but yet overlooked
synonymous with equilibrium
it is preached but not always followed
for i fear balance is not always taught
for balance is like air it can be forgotten
and fade into the background
but once it is removed the importance is seen
when you picture balance
scales and see saws spring to mind
but its not just felt on the immediate material
which was seen with the obesity rise
and the then calls for balanced diets
but as i said balance can fade into the background
for sometimes the things that balance us do also
for what use is a ship without an anchor
i was reminded about the importance of balance whilst playing football on the weekend
the team i ended up on unfortunately
just comprised itself of attacking players
but what is attack without defence
i love the quote that we have two ears and yet one mouth

some people are balanced as some are not
some are prepared for anything
and others just go with the flow
though arguments against either can arise
but together they work perfectly
for the meticulous can be slow to act and over cautious
but the other to risky lackadaisical and rash
the bipedal
brains and brawn
for you cannot bulldoze everything
and you cannot wait everything out
which is shown great through teams
in football you need people to score you goals
but you need people to stop your team from conceding
and the balance makes a great team
for what use is a dull knife
balance is not always opposites or does not have to been see as such
but compliance
it reminds me of the graphic novel title
for the man who has everything
and what do you get them
for even those who seem to need no help
do need help
for there is no one that has everything
but there are people who do not need anything
you may know of someone who for you has unfathomable
amounts of skill or talent
and it could cause in you a sense of inadequacy
but it is not necessary
you may think what can you do
but sometimes it is about what you can not do
for every great team sports player who steals the limelight
there is a simple player who aides them
and sometimes it is as simple as bringing another viewpoint
example some people may favor one side of their body
right hand
right foot
etc
but remove the other and the drastic change is evident
you may not be able to draw or catch or rythm in time
but it is of considerable use
as an experiment
to try not using something
you rely not so heavily upon
like your left hand
your left foot
etc
and see how hard it is with the unbalance
