Duality and Neutrality

A piece for submission to the Speak Your Mind Slam presented by Poetry Power, a great website!

 

 

Duality and Neutrality 

 

I find people's views on the nature of the universe amusing....

 

"There's God in heaven and hell on earth."

 

What a load of bull,

 

Sit back and smile, 

Feel the air 

Smell the sky 

Drink the sea 

Hear the sunlight 

Burn the moonlight

And don't you ever ever dare to tell me the world is made of nothing more than darkness and light 

THEY'RE NOTHING MORE THAN BUILDING BLOCKS 

2 separate pieces in a 50 x 50 x 50 foot bank of Legos!

If a mother can see the microscopic difference in the color of her child in its first week of life while no one else can you must be a fool or blind to see nothing more than black and white 

Good and evil are like pieces of 8 in a chest of treasures 

It's true they're there, but they are so overshadowed with the rest of the boxes contents, if you choose to look, anything can be found 

Do not tell me that darkness needs light 

Darkness needs light as much as maroon needs purple 

(Here's a hint, they don't)

Just...

Listen...

Don't believe it when a person preaches to you that heaven is above and hell below!

They are together-

Side by side by side with the millions on millions on millions of other hopes and dreams and ideas and beliefs and imaginations and thoughts and contingencies and plans and schematics and drawings and stories and legends and lies and truths.

 

Just because the two things exist and are opposites, doesn't mean a thing!

They are because they are.

 

Pocahontas taught us to paint with the colors of the wind 

I'm telling you 

Paint with all the colors 

All of them.
