Neither Can Be
May 7, 2010
Death is life and life is death
Neither can be without the other
Time is the greatest enemy, the cruelest thief
Stealing away youth, love, beauty
Who is to say what cannot be told?
Life, death, misery
What is real and what is not?
Illusion, dream, reality
We must reap what we sow
Whether it be wheat or dragon’s teeth
Dawn and dusk
What beauty to behold
For we must think
Think the whole world over
What is war without emotion?
Love, hate, sorrow
Death is life and life is death
Neither can be without the other

Then I got to thinking how everything must have a balance, and that everything is connected.
My hope is that people will stop for a minute in their busy lives and just think about it. Just don't think about it too much, it might give you a headache.
