Without light there is no darkness Without darkness there is no light On every face under the sun The shading puts emphasis on what shows bright The only thing that won't change Is the inevitability of change to come Back and forth to the occasional mix Moon, sun, moon, sun, eclipse, moon, sun There is no final ending stage No one right answer, no last page Evidence builds through each passing phase As power rises and falls for different people and places Without the bad there'd be no motivation for good Removing the fine unpleasant details will fade the big picture to nothing Which is something in itself, as absence has it's presence And villain and Victim trade places in their being As worldly impurity becomes self-evident So comes the manifestation of multiple moral truths They are equal in validity even though they contradict Perception and factors shape each person's point of view Nothing's all truth, nothing's all lies It's all a matter of what set of eyes Consistency is built, a synthetic illusion Inferiority and superiority creates a purist delusion ---------------------------------------------- It's kind of a work in progress. I guess this is my telling my former self (the person I was before I changed) off for my non-realistic belief I had that I was on the moral higher ground. I am happy to have saved myself from the futile attempt at being pure (as there is no such thing).
i like this. Good meaning.
Thank you. By the way, that Orwell quote in your signature, I've seen it before.
