Friends forever of the uneven kind
For the right hand writes, many a song and poetry
While the left is sidelined in the shadow of, right’s artistic
mastery
Yet, the right hand claims no pride; and the left fields no jealousy
The left doesn’t crib; and right doesn’t brag egotic
supremacy
And often times, during chores of hammering in a nail
The right hand slips and smashes the left’s unfortunate,
little finger's nail
The guilty right, drops the hammer and soothes the left in
undivided compassion
Even so, the left doesn’t
grab the hammer , to smash back in retaliation
Thus is the unity of two hands, in ego-less collaboration
Thus is the wisdom of nondiscrimination; of self less love;
life's only salvation
Based on the amazing talk by Thick Nhat Hanh
