The Hourglass of Friendship

Friendships are one of the greatest things 

that ever existed on the face of our world,

Despite the fact that they take so long to form.

But, in return to being in this world,

Friendship is bound to the rules of balance.


Two friends can only remain friends with balance.

They will definitely have their differences,

And will soon learn to accept 

those in each other.


But that friendship,

The same one that gives you

The warm, joyous 

feeling inside,

Can easily be turned over 

Almost as easily

As you can turn 

An hourglass


You may have a disagreement.

Not just any disagreement.

One that conflicts each other’s beliefs

And knowledge of the world around them


Soon the friendship has gone to imbalance,

Each has a different opinion in the world.

The friends that enjoyed the company of each other

Have now run out of their friendship’s balance,

And turned that company into hatred and aloofness.
