Balancing The Impossible

Balancing The Impossible 

Good,evil, wrong or right 
Are they bad if it's not within sight ?
Cultural and social traditions,  
Black magic, old suspicions, 
Arranged marriages of submission,
Same sexes needing permissions.

Life existing in a deathly stance, 
Yet murders committed in a glance,
Those left, feeling devastated and bereft, 
There is no understanding of the human theft,
Created in the name of a god or idol,
Those Fierce fanatics turning suicidal !

Good,evil, right or wrong
The world may one day, sing the same song 
Gather together in harmony as a loving clan, 
Restore understanding, hope, a balance,
A united front, a global Yin Yang.  
  


Love is a delicate balance

    we can only pray that harmony is found and that it transcends all the other philosophies....religeous fanaticism has been the death of many...

    Your use of the opposites in both your verse and your image are quite well done. Your point about harmony as somehow coming about thru the equalization of the opposites assumes, I think, that one can be conscious of them in oneself as well as in others. That type of self-awareness itself requires an ability to understand the true nature of others' actions, and perhaps motivations. In addition, such an awareness requires a grasp of cosmic proportions that might in most cases be beyond human capability. Having said that, though, I do believe that the instances of disharmony are so true it bears repeating in as many ways and as many times as possible.
