Dualism

Dualism

Child:

I remember beauty and a world of worthy

Goals that meant all you are

I remember sun rays so honest on my face

and all the love in my arms

Smiles, I kept them with me

The trust in all the good of this world

Friends, they walk within me

Old man, look at what you've lost

I shall deny you

with a piece of love

I shall deny you

with a piece of hope

I shall deny you

with honesty on my face

I shall deny you

with truth tagged on my name

I shall deny you

with care burned on my hands

I shall deny you

with sympathy in my eyes

I shall deny you

For the open arms I stay

I will remain against the fear

For the trust of the memory

of hands spread to embrace my whole being with warmth

For a world of mine I will stay denying

all that you are

For a life of trying I will teach denying

of all that you are

Old Cynic:

I remember rain with all the shame

and mocking laughter at me

I remember betrayal and all the sails

burned on mantrusting seas

I shall deny you

with a piece of flesh

I shall deny you

with a piece of hate

I shall deny you

with lies told to my face

I shall deny you

with contempt on my name

I shall deny you

with lust burned on their hands

I shall deny you

with apathy in their eyes

I shall deny you

I'm a tired man of moving mountains

so a child could pretend that all is well

I'm a tired man of taking judgement

for the trust of a child's imagination

I seek loss of memory of men and their humble ways

For the broken arms I stay 'till the end of days

Me:

Be silent!

both of you know nothing

I'm here to teach peace between you two

I need you both so I could seek perfection

I need you both so I could feel complete
