Opposites
They say that opposites are necessary
they, you know of whom I speak
so many that they have become faceless
to us, so similar in their beaten nature
having given up the fight, given away
all of their gauntlet gloves, for imagined
peace with Creator and the State --
Why do I need to know clouds to
appreciated the Sun? -- only for
those who need them dissimilar
cannot see, feel the glorious drip
along with the enlivening bake
must red be appreciated without
a run of blue? -- only for those
who are not colorblind; Surface
dwellers, dining on fruits while not
savoring the deeper root nearer
source -- And so, you say (you know you,
so many that have become faceless) we must
know hate to love...! God seems to have
had a garden difference? Perhaps? -- a little snake
in most our psychologies.
