Balance
Good comes from evil
Gain comes from loss
Kindness comes from cruelty
Courage comes from fear
And love can come from hate
All this I know
It’s always worked this way; it always will
But what about now, when
Good and evil
Gain and loss
Kindness and cruelty
Courage and fear
Love and hate
Are in the same proportions?
I’m stuck here, waiting
For one to emerge,
Then the other,
To keep the balance
So life can go on
The question is, which one’s on its way?
And will I be ready when it comes,
Or let it slip away
Like so many opportunities have?
I don’t know
I can’t know
Because that’s what life is
One big mystery
You can never know what’s coming next
For that would spoil the fun
