Elliott Bowe The Drunken Poet Poet Free verse

Values

Would you cherish the value of warmth if their was no cold?
Would you cherish the value of life if there was no death?

Famine illuminates the value of food.
Pain illuminates the value of relief.

Hate not the bad but understand its value.
Both up and down displays a vital point of view.
