Water
and Oil
Due to its own chemical polarity if water and oil are put together they do not mix, there's no way
like other things, like me
Symmetry’s imaginary division of a living being
it divides my body in two halves. My left side doesn't like my right and my right hates my left.
The human brain, strange as it may seem,
the right hemisphere controls the left part of my body and the left hemisphere controls the right one,
but both of them live in the same body and they are as different as water and oil.
Allow me to explain.
My left side speaks only English, my right side speaks only Portuguese
They don’t speak to each other
My left likes yoga and to get in touch with nature,
My right prays at bedside every day.
At breakfast one enjoys milk and cereal
and the other one coffee and bread.
They both like sports
but soccer’s the number one for right and basketball for left.
While one watches TV the other one is surfing the internet
Left dreams of being a doctor
meanwhile right has dreams of flying
One is an immigrant in another country.
The differences are crystal clear and are treated like problems.
Always problems
They both just see the problems,
they are like water and oil; they don’t mix.
But you know what...
They seek truth, justice, love, beauty, freedom.
So alike yet so different.
Single heart, single soul. Like everyone else.
That’s the way.
So what can we do, for people to understand each other… to live peacefully together?
They are like water and oil, they don’t mix, isn’t it?
