Opposition

We are all god and the devil the same
Inside and out, by nature and name
Nothing but pawns in our own little game
Perspective and image through lenses and frame

The art of humanity, ageless and old
Everyday new, each moment been told
Warmth of our hearts so demonstrably cold
Buy into lies by the truth we were sold

Ends of the spectrum and all in between
Nothing but DNA strands at the seam
Hate to be loved, so bitter and sweet
Taking our share as we give into greed

Nothing but art in the eye of the mind
Search for the heart as we tire to find
Head down the path, the higher we climb
The worst we can hope for to die in our prime

Thoughtless emotion, emotionless thought
Combine the two in an infinite war
Logic divides the irrational core
Instinct declines what our brains offer forth

The fresher we feel, the more we are stale
energy polarised, female and male
The lighter the shade, the darker the pale
The effort of trying succeeded to fail
