Laws With Gravity

Moving beyond,
What goes up and then down,
Where opposites attract,
Only to repel with a frown.

The statistical mind may
See a regression to the mean.
Like a giant roller coaster,
Though silent and unseen.

We often view diplomacy,
With two minds far apart.
As compromise drives a wedge,
Between both from the start.

When conflict seeks total victory,
Where only one can stand tall.
The struggle fails to weaken, but 
Only strengthens those who fall.

This universal ' tug of war ',
Tirelessly moves to expand & contract.
While the gravity is often hidden,
Keeping its shadow intact.
