What is man without strife or hate
complete?
or a wraith of himself
they are tools he uses to rebate
what he does not understand
an arsenal given by creation
heralding his rise and impending fall
What is a world without pain
death or love
paradise?
or hell on earth
for there is a balance
demanded by nature"s hand
demanded
like taxes from a serf
His is a trifling fate
live, fight, love
die.
a taste of life and no more
he is man
perfection's flaw
a god
willed and strong
a reflection
of creation's twisted humor
wit the celestial
or eternal cosmos
He is the beam
the line
and the muse
