The Duality of Man

The duality of man, oh what a sight A puzzle so complex, so full of might On one hand, we are strong and brave On the other, we are weak and craven We can love with all our heart But also with hate we can start A fire within that never dies And consumes us with burning lies We can rise to greatness, or fall to despair The choice is ours, but be aware The duality of man is a perilous thing It can lift us up, or make us sing A song of sorrow, a cry of pain Or a melody of joy, that can never wane The duality of man is a curious thing It can make us soar, or make us sing.
