Between Extremes

In this life, 
you cannot have 
both world's,
no it can't be done.
You choose one, 
either right or wrong,
you win or you lose,
you die or you live,
you either keep on 
keeping on,
or you keep on living 
on the ground floor. 
Both cannot merge. 
But another hidden way 
belongs to those who 
finds the middle path
between the extremes, 
they will always come out 
victorious for such is 
the beginning of a glorious 
life free of the perilous 
ways of the world. 
No mediocrity, 
only a higher life above the 
ordinary full of incessant 
activities with an extraordinary 
lifestyle. 
Is it possible?
Affirmatively yes,
it is possible. 
Pesky lifestyle of others must 
be tolerated or be avoided 
to win your battle of self. 
With enormous gratitude, 
live your life amongst others 
with joyful tenderness. 
And when you win 
enough of your battle, 
then humanity will blend with 
your vision for they are looking 
out for such a one in their midst. 
Be that fellow who has 
found the inner wheel.
