my daily poem feb 22, 2004 - law of opposites

the world walks on a tightrope

deriving strength from its opposites.

from every minus spins a plus,

every negative, a positive

and every man, a women

and between them the power

that sustains the world.

ying gives rise to yang

and darkness gives that

extra edge to the beauty of light.

in the positive and negative sparks

of the split atoms nagasaki and hiroshima turned to ash.

the union of men and women sustains civilisations throughout the ages.

god and satan gave birth to religion

that help build up the characters in men

who skilfully walk between opposites

to maintain his impartiality.
