Equilibrium

Inspired by the movie Equilibrium (2002)

Equilibrium

Why is it without hate I cannot love?
Without sorrow, I cannot feel joy.
Where there is no darkness, there is no light.
If there is no war, there is no peace.
No pain and I can feel no pleasure.
Can the positive not exist without the negative?
Where there is a mother goose, there is father time.
For every action, there is a reaction.
There is no sharpness without dullness.
Where there is noise, there is silence.
Without faithlessness, there is no faith.
There is no blissful sense of touch without burning skin.
Without corruption, there is no pureness.
Sameness is unity, and uniqueness is discord.
Where there is no putrid stench of death, there is no sweet smell of life?
Why is it on the Eve of my creation, I see destruction?
When I see the countless stars, I see the void between.
Where there are no lies, there is no truth.
Is it truly all yin and yang?
Even so, I crave both of all this and want none of it.

Ah, the dichotomy of life, its greatest paradox. Truly there must be opposition in all things. I don't mean to be weird commenting on a lot of your poems, but I have been reading quite a few of them. I must say, I have become a bit of a fan. How are you able to whip out so many poems in such a short space of time?

Thank you for reading all my writings so far. I am writing currently, and I do produce one to two every month or so. I have posted my poems and stories in a number of places on the web on blogs that I have in virtual 3D worlds. I have dedicated readers there, and I have informed them I am moving all my writings to here. So you are not only getting my new writings but things I have written in mostly in the last six years. A few are over 30 years old. I did not write for about 24 years; however, when I got involved in virtual 3D worlds and since then I cannot stop writing. I have decided I must get all my writings in one place and online, and this is the place.
