They were placed side by side
one so bright
the other black as night.
Good confronts evil
or so it was said
but what was found in their hearts
made the juxtaposition clear.
The one who sought beauty
was vain and crass
oblivious to the world around.
The one who sought anger
was gentle and compassionate
hurt by the savagery of the world around.
Polar opposites
examples of right and wrong
if only they had looked further
they would have found
the one who could have saved them all.
