Confliction
If one seeks evil
then evil he shall find,
and if he looks for good,
he will see it all around.
Try to find the middle.
Smile and envy the children at play.
Admire the one who hits a home run,
then remember you hated those guys
in high school,
then pity the poor bastard
for the fresh black eye
that he received from his drunken father.
It looks like God's eye
peeking through a storm cloud.
