An impossible number of war-lords battle it out,
it seems, for your golden attention - un-divided.
You must juggle, and you must prioritize:
Them all.
& sometimes I feel like I'm spinning plates,
terrified that even one will crash to the floor.
Shattering with it, a precious parrelllel dream
un-used and un-needed but never the less priceless
in hidden value. Maybe.
When you spread your attention
like butter
over too much bread..
destraction and fustration
are your only friends.
Have the courage to stop and laugh
and, while peacefully setting down those plates state:
"I'd rather be ace at one trade,
than a Jack of them all."
