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
