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
