James Wright Poet Light Verse

Emotional Warriors

Thy hatred of thy self 
More consuming then that 
Of a thousand oceans

In thy mind a battle ground
Of the most colossal stages
Grander the that of
The Roman Colosseum

Between two opponents
Both grander than that of Goliath himself

Two emotions fight
As if warriors possessed
Hatred and happiness
Dark and light

Though I hope for happiness
The darkness of hatred
Can cloud even the brightest of hopes days

The minds battle settles
With a realization
For both warriors
For both emotions
For thy mind
To know true happiness
To know true peace
Both emotions
Must be in balance
