Quandary

Blog 348:

Co-existence causes perplexing rhythms
Seeming good is not all good
Apparent bad is not all bad
What is clear is if they’re not openly spoken
Co-existence brews dangerous, fragile reality

First creeps lukewarm exchanges
Next a stressful dance of hypocritical kind
In time mixed energies get wrangled
Or worse, they get tightly bottled
Calibrated-not, wrenched energies reach the rim
And predictably soon … a full-blown outburst
 
Of what good is co-existence?
Meaningless accord comes to mind
Contentment of the lesser kind
And what injurious bad does it invite?
In the horizon visibly lurks co-evolution
The reckless and crueler path
 
Should we summon disappointment?
Lead in pain or wallow in self-pity?
Passionless co-existence is devious
Deceitful life is downright dangerous!
