Opposites

Evil would be avoided if only we could 
Making time in our lives to do some Good 

Day is a time that’s bathed in sun light 
Fading away into the moonlit Night 

Hot as an iron, too much to hold 
Left out all night and now it is Cold 

Dirt on my clothes, seen and unseen 
With effort once again they can be Clean 

Dark in the room and nothing in sight 
a flip of a switch and all is bathed in Light 

Mean gets you nowhere, enemies you entice 
You get much further by treating people Nice 

Fat in most food, seems you can’t win 
Strict controlled diet to make yourself Thin 

Bald and older the thought is so scary 
But not quite as bad as being overly Hairy 

Awake for too long, drowsiness can creep 
Drifting slowly away until you’re Asleep
