Two Equals One

Dreams to yet know of
Future promises the unpromising future
Mystery never to solve
An image without camera to forever capture

Like you see yet see not
To have but never once to know
An idea without the thought
To love and never enfold

Like a dying soul with a living breath
Like an achievement without the applaud
Like stolen loots that be theft
Like the many lives for a one man’s war

Two for the equations of one
The dark and light to bring about lives
Blood bearing the symbols to fun
Reasons we learn to never question the whys

And deeper shall go unspoken of
Unpromising a future for a past to promise
The cure is to cause
Whence the image be forever captured
