Always Poem by soren Barrett

There will always be day and night
us or they, neither better than the other
Love and hate, black and white
crooked or straight, each a sister or a brother

There is large or small, male or female
run or crawl, after and before
Short and tall, pass or fail
nothing or all, peace and war

good or bad, life or death
happy or sad, truth or lies
satiated or hungry, suffocate or catch one's breath
thin or chunky, ignorant or wise

Yet all is gray in this world around us
tis they say a matter of perception
always was and always will be thus
so the law lays a view of deception

it's the emptiness of the pot that gives it, its use
have you forgot, without the one you can't have the other?
and without tenderness, there would be no abuse
so life renders us, no child without a father and a mother
