life and death


Everyone doesn’t get to meet you,

But when they do some say you’re evil

Others say you are one of a kind.

You are everlasting just like your opposite.

You are neither good nor bad.

You are just there.

You make existence exciting.

Without you there would be nothing.

People call out to you because they see the evil in you.

They blame you for their problems.

They blame you for your opposite when it’s not your doing.

They blame you for something you can’t control

But why?

Why do they blame you for their actions?

Are they scared?

Are they to naïve to see the truth?

Because of you there is music.

Because of you there is love.

Because of you there is hope.

How are you unfair?

It’s humans that make you unfair.

The only thing you are trying to do is sustain yourself.
