Balance

Two things we place so far apart,
Behind walls of air and dust,
So thick that the wisest do not see
the problem lies with trust.

That peace hides behind a war,
As does death within a life.
That without the pain and tears of love
All would lose the will to fight.

The world is just a hidden place
for yin and yang to dwell.
Without one there can be no another,
Without heaven there would be no hell.

Without the ever present balance
our lives would fall apart,
Without the gift of sunlight,
We would never fear the dark.

Yet as the world continues spinning and
we fight for peace with war,
Those who wish an end to fighting
always lock their doors.

Yet there lies their tragic mistake
In their futile attempts to hide,
They ask to end a war with silence
when it started with a million lies.
