which side

I have had to re submit to poetry page as as common sense as been blocked ??

Which side
I sit here looking at common sense
Contemplating as I sit here on the fence
Deciding which side I should alight
Can I make the right choice without a fight
I think it safer to sit were I am
And stay on this fence if I can
Sitting her watching either side
Knowing it’s easier to go with the tide
If I should jump down to join the
Will I still be allowed to have my say
No I think I will keep to my old theme
Allowing me to sit and scheme
 
Hello John, I said on the first post I really like this, and I still do, wonderful
 
This is a most thoughtful poem John

Things are rarely as they first appear so you are so wise to sit on the fence and contemplate before jumping into the fray. . .

Commonsense is wisdom and there's a fine line between intelligence and common sense –As to which one is more responsible in the long run? It's always been an interesting question -

It always amazes me to run into people who are extremely intelligent but seem to be lacking in common sense. .

Knowing when to come in out of the rain -
Why the early bird gets the worm
Life isn’t always fair - and
Maybe it was my fault.


But let us not get too downcast. If we believe in reincarnation then surely Mr. Common Sense can be resurrected. I do think the pendulum swings throughout life and perhaps we are just in the middle of one of those swings. There may not be a right or wrong way - but there is always a better way and we all need to try and find that way.

Thanks John
