I Couldn't Talk About It, So I Wrote a Poem

Absolute peace is detrimental to progress. God forbids, but if a total Peace prevails Society, as we know, will come to a grinding halt, Religion, as an enterprise will wither away Law and justice will become obsolete; There will be no prisons, no police, no courts of law. No tales to tell or myths to spin, Neither heroes to worship nor martyrs to idolize, The world would plunge into chaos… It simply makes NO BUSINESS SENSE. You got to let evil and hate loose in the world, Let go of all the thugs, tyrants, rapists, marauders, murderers and warmongers back into the society; Constraining or getting rid of them makes absolutely NO BUSINESS SENSE. So you see, without war and destruction There will be no rebuilding, Without the pandemonium No yearning for peace, Without sin No penance for salvation. Good and evil must coexist, side by side, As does joy and suffering So does God and the devil, Life couldn’t be complete one without the other. Sooner we accept this, easier it’ll be to live. Man, in his own image, created God and he made the devil for a purpose, There cannot be only sunshine and cool breeze all the time, As in nature, so in life, We must as well endure the bleak and the dark days of fall and the bitter cold of winter. For the progression of mankind Periodic destruction is indispensable.
