COUNTER-BALANCE

tsunamis are restless oceans

in turmoil - waves rise high

to witness orange ball called Sun

flaming up the blue sky

it then withdraws into its depth

knows what holds it aloft

to challenge fire, invite its wrath

battle lines can't be soft

known power against enemies

defines identity

edited highlights defy peace

recreate enmity

conflict is the stuff of stories

a board to vent out rage

dark characters answer queries

its goodness comes of age

fire and water, earth and ether

winds to keep fanning flames

scripted to rebalance teasers

unity spoils the game
