Love and Hate

LOVE AND HATE

LIKE A WIRE,
ONE POSITIVE ,
ANOTHER NAGETIVE,


LIKE A SWORD,
SHARP IN BOTH SIDES,
ONE ATTACKING,
ANOTHER PROTECTING,


LIKE AN ELEPHANT STRUCK,
BOTH ARE BOND LIKE,
THEY ARE TOGETHER IN BETWEEN A SPACE,
ON THE SAME FACE,


LIKE POLITICS,
ONE IMPOSEING,
ANOTHER OPPOSEING,


LIKE A JUNGLE,
ONE HUNTING,
ANOTHER SACRIFICING


LIKE A PHILOSOPHY
ONE INSPIREING,
ANOTHER MANIPULATING,


LIKE A LOGIC,
ONE IDENTIFYING,
ANOTHER ISOLATING


LIKE A GAME,
ONE A WINNER,
ANOTHER A LOSER,


LIKE A DOOR,
ONE OPEN,
ANOTHER CLOSE,


LIKE A FOREST
ONE WILD,
ANOTHER DOMESTIC,


LIKE LIFE,
SOME LOVEING,
SOME HATEING


LIKE ONE, LIKE ANOTHER
YOU EITHER LOVE,
OR, YOU HATE,

BUT,
THE REAL SENCE OF ONE CANT BE UNDERSTOOD WITHOUT THE OTHER,
LOVE AND HATE.
