Necessary Pain God?

Such dichotomy, “Aren’t we all?”
“Isn’t it all? Life, Geography, Ideology,
symbolic text on pages of humanities;
orgasmic growth?”

Eastern faces, sunrise, inward looking daze…
Western faces, sunset, outward gaze…

Poverty and wealth, defined, embraced.
The search for self.

Such necessary, painful, dichotomy…
Harmony and dissonance.

“Isn’t it all? Life.. Sexuality, Repression…
Grist for the mill, fodder?”
“The children of creation?”
