UNION OF THE EXTREMITIES

UNION OF THE EXTREME PHENOMENA

Let's start from the days and the nights
The incessant turning of light to dark
The interconversion of two entirely separate realms
The pressure of the night all on the tiny stars
With the sun and the moon all in one sky
Much to be contained in the drag
There is surely that certainty
In the ghetto and beyond
All the things still as countless
Hot as fire, cold as water
Light as air and heavy as Earth
All the elements, all the same
Alive now and dead again, until we all live forever
And that maybe in oblivion
All the contradictions we carry within
As we go towards a state of being
Continuous antithetical phenomena in happenings
And same mannered activities of Man
Will not cease to be
Until nothing comes between him and the success he seeks
Only then will he realize, there is only a state of ease
It's almost impossible to declare when and where
The day and night shall cease their union
