At Sixes and Sevens

Somewhere decorum, somewhere pandemonium
Somewhere parsimony, somewhere bleeding heart
Somewhere love, somewhere hatred
Somewhere revenge, somewhere forgiveness

Somewhere bondage, somewhere liberty
Somewhere eccentricity, somewhere selflessness
Somewhere egoism, somewhere humility
Somewhere complexities, somewhere simplicity

Which ones to permit the soul?
To acclimatise and dominate
Life keeps changing every spur

Discrepancies are inevitable
To be water or a rock?
Will it attain a pool of boundless solitude?
