Enlightenment

Care not I for who is deemed either wrong or right

Therefore competion is at dire odds with me 

Without bad versus good, would we ever need fight?

Surely without either, we would all be then free

Righteousness often labelled as what is pure light 

Whilst darkness is attached to demonic prowess

Can either be without the other’s existence? 

Is darkness, not light, in state of pure undress? 

Aren’t they entwined, as in us; have coexistence?

Isn’t fighting our own darkness, the hardest test? 

Does one quell the other; have total resistance?  

No, of course not; from darkness to light we evolve 

From what once was darkness, erupted the big bang 

From dark earth to sunlight is a seedlings resolve

In Chinese philosophy they’ve the Yin and Yang   

From within the womb, aren’t we all born into light?  

Upon chess board, wouldn’t all the pawns be then the same?

Let’s then cleanse our perceptions and birth a new sight 

Meet each other with empathy; replace the blame 

Let’s concede that it is a spectrum made of slights

Let’s not condemn our sisters and brothers; then wrong 

Acknowledge, in each other, both darkness and light

Born from one to the other; in enlightenment belong  

So with blame removed; darkness and light accepted 

Wouldn’t the human race then have love perfected?
