Opposites

Opposites (A Shakespearan Sonnet) Within this world so complex and so composite - With various variances and selfishness - We often find that allied are the opposites: Bound they are by more than brotherliness. No ‘victory’ can there be without ‘defeat’: For one to win, should not the other lose? The ‘cold’ ‘hot’ becomes meeting heat: Into each other Opposites can also fuse! ‘Life’ is stalked by ‘death’ throughout its tread: Partners they, and yet can never meet! Wherever ‘death’ is born, there ‘life’ is dead: Thus Opposites are denied the meeting feat. They co-exist and fusion too, attain: Yet mutual strangers Opposites do remain!
