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?
Adam’s suit’s beautiful and luring
Eyes know it, try to eat everything
eyes asking for more even that hidden
contesters leave them watering
Lips dry of saliva, remote with hope
but tears- rich squat with envious stare
flying appetite betrays insecure heart
knocking against walls of eager looks
Free and innocent beauties lie untapped
hillside occupants are deadly pretty
trees, creepers, insects, terraces, waterfalls
wear no clothes but have unrivaled beauty
Yet humans parade nude human seeds
that eyes may selfishly eat their fill
