Philosophical free verse

Pendulum/Yin-Yang

by Badger_29

In and out and all about
that's how these concepts
are weaving doubts
into the minds
of believers and skeptics

if it were not so,
it would be
 an antiseptic
world in which we live

Like these vague arguments
(some people get so bent!)
cloudy, not clear
(do you find it queer?)
And it's getting thicker
all the time!

Just look at the quicker
rate of crime, grime,
and time

Or consider the fact
that if you are reading,
a lot of those "facts"
are intentionally
misleading

Pleading, needing
bleeding our 
collective consciousness
 of it's receding resources

And of course,
this forces your hand.
If you play poker,
you know that you
must play "The Joker"
sometimes the fool.

~There are many tools,
 rules and duels~

When you consider
the many schools
of thought,
how you were taught

As The Alchemist wrought
his mighty magic:
transforming
the nuts and bolts
into rubber,
which proceeded to cycle
and meet the road.

At the precise point
where it made contact,
was a connection, correction

A reflection of something
that was occurring
somewhere else,
in the opposite direction.

So as you are showing,
going growing
flowing and slowing,
realize that somewhere
someone is thinking,
 feeling and knowing
the exact opposite.

Therein lies the contrast!

A wise man once said
"variety is the spice of life",
so do enjoy
the rich, warm noon day sun,
but do consider
considering the shadows,
because therein 
lies the link between the two

~realities~

So as you are glowing
and gleening,
 please take a few moments
to consider the many meanings
