Virtues and Vices

Rights and wrongs 
Too entangled 
A war is fine
Kill for peace
Unable to judge
As virtue just died

Love and hatred 
Wrongly blend 
Hate to love
Or love to hate 
Sums up in hate
Self confused.

Lies and truths 
Inseparable pals
Lying to live 
Or living to lie
life so absurd
As credibility lost

Logic and myth 
Rationale rare
Religion reins men
God an excuse
To suppress men
As evils rule minds

During time of war men love with more intensity as they do not know if it will be their last day. Yes opposites can coexist.

This is nicely penned.. Lot of substance for thoughts compressed in short lines..
