Simple Questions With No Answers

When the hopeful become the hopeless.
How do the hopeless find hope?  

When the light fades and bares to be noticed. 
Until it dims so low, you can no longer see it. 
Then the blind follow, the deaf, as the entirety goes mute. 
Who then would lead who?

Where do the sinful seek opposition to perpetuate their sin?
If the opposed seek sin and wash their feet in the vast circle?
As to say they're "Only testing the water." 
But the winds changed, so they'll end up submerged tomorrow. 

Where is balance if not united in its center? 
Once made a pendulum to swing free, where do you ever know to settle? 
When the other can gather weight as well?
How could they ever meet directly in the middle?
