The Benefit of Juliet

Long before Barbie

Graced the silver screen,

Juliet spoke

Shakespearean soliloquies,

And as this character

Loved Romeo,

Few people actually know

That “wherefore”

Means “why,”

And why not try

To advocate

To appreciate

Being human

Regardless of being

A man and/or a woman,

And summon the courage

To abandon rage,

And instead,

Set the stage

In a world where

It is possible

To live with tranquility and harmony,

So thank Juliet

For the benefit of humanity,

And allow a rose

To remain as timeless

As Beauty and the Beast,

For romances

Involve much more than just love,

And as Juliet

Stood at her balcony

High up above,

Caring for one another

Is both essential

As well as fundamental

To tackle the insurmountable,

So at least be willing to be forgiving,

And then raise a new generation

Through a proper upbringing

For the sake of everything
