Balance

Balance

A word used quite frequently

But tell me

Does that mean

That pain can't be eradicated

What about the hate

And the hardships

Balance

They say one man's loss

Is another man's gain

One's suffering

Another's glory

The mighty

Feast on the weak

Is that really

Our actuality

Balance

Very few beings realize

Yet fewer comprehend

There are storms

They are mother nature's fury

Her vengeance

For taking what's not ours

Balance

The Sun

There's only one

It only rises in the East

After it sets in the West

One sphere's darkness

Other's light

The clouds

They aren't providers

They merely decree

Seize and cede

Balance

Just like existence

One soul's hope

Another's fear

There can be only one victor

But many fallen

The old depart

To pave way for the young

One man's tears

Another's elixir vitae

Yet balance is the very essence of existence

Or is it?

Alas

We are but mere subjects

In this godless realm of chaos
