Duality

The dark invented my mind
Inspired my designs
The light created the pain
Duality insane

All hope has taken a turn
Become something I yearn
And only reason is left
Fighting off my bitter theft

The war within confides
With universal life
Still something they can’t see
Duality disagrees

All laws are part of the plan
To openly re-expand
The darkness in our thoughts
For this the truth runs short

The love of life will fear
The love of hate too near
But then what do I know?
My dualism grows

As night digs deep in the dirt
Now clutching at my hurt
The light is holding me
Duality’s guarantee
