One Hand Can Clap

We come through life hearing things from our elders that are founded on years of wisdom and past from generation to generation. But in the same way good experiences pass through the years bad ones do too. When we believe that what we are doing is right and we teach our kids the same we may disseminate misdirection

One Hand Can Clap

Our grandmother said it takes two

No matter what you thought you knew

Each time you tango, quarrel or clap but that’s not true

How can this be

Another’s ideas disagree

Never could some one so wise

Do this harm and truth disguise

Could it be that she didn’t know

A quarrel yes and certainly a tango

Never true for clapping though

Clash a hand against a knee

Let your hand beat your chest repeatedly

And either way you’ll clap so you’ll show

People your approval and they’ll always know
