They Met

Wind met water and they became fiancées
Fire met wood and they became spouses
Darkness met light and they became opposites
Master met servant and they became suspects
Success met failure and they became enemies
Man met woman and they became strangers
Power met throne and they became corruptible
North met South and they became poles apart
Teacher met student and they became book-worms
Reason met argument and they became fools
Bullet met barrel and they became murderers
Peace met tolerance and they became contesters
But what will meet what to bring total peace here?
