Life is a Duality.

Existence is a paradox,
Life is a duality in contradiction.
Each state subsists the opposite of itself.
Each facet of being is in perpetual friction.

Life’s intricate paradox,
time itself is one with extremes,
day and night entwines in embrace.
Opposition in reality exists in dreams.

A diversion of contrasts,
duality is a paradox that binds.
Right is wrong, and shadow is light,
Choose a side and find the truth unwinds.

Exist in the conflict.
A contradiction, old is young.
Take a stance and find opposition,
All spoken words are of a dual tongue.

Right is left and wrong.
Choose to embrace the duel,
Shades of light will help you hide
when you see that you have been a fool.

Life’s paradoxical rhythm
contradicts everything I say.
All are right and wrong, no strife,
No black or white, only tones of gray.
