Dichotomous Hours

A child’s smiling face 
A sunrise shining on a field of flowers 
An orchestra fluidly keeping pace
In this World of ours

A hateful cold man’s face 
A bomb’s blast sees ash from flesh makes rock from towers 
An ocean of starvation born of greed’s embrace 
On this Earth of ours 

A distracted blank face
A mind of apathy denies thought empowers
An era in darkness begs light to erase
In this Time of ours
