and this battle between light and darkness
'tis an eternal one
fought on this earth over chessboard squares
of all shades of grey
we are all pawns
and pieces engaged in this battle
only sometimes waking up to find
we are on different sides of the line
some on the side of light
pose on the side of darkness
and some on the side of darkness
pose on the side of light
some unwittingly fight for the side they oppose
and provide darkness fortuitious advances
or light to gain the advantage
spirits when young yearn for the side of light
and fight for ideas which seem so right
but soon their victories ossify into institutions
only to create caverns for darkness to reside
spirits when tired and old try to preserve
a world full of chessboard squares of all manner of grey
or reason that there really is no final victory
and that reformers throughout history
all waste their time
but 'tis only an eternal battle on a universal scale
as momentarily
darkness envelopes light
and fleetingly
light stamps out the darkness
what of us pawns or pieces
actors on this greyish stage
what roles do we play
do you know
which side you fight on today ?
