True Destiny?

Darkness summoned upon me

'Let me enlighten you about the dark'

How ironic?

I thought

I had no intention to rebel

But light itself did fight.

'Open your eyes'

Said dark

Less said more of a bark

I open my eyes

'Open your eyes

and See the practical reality

Instead of the moral lies,

Look around ​you, a world

With dense darkness

And light so few'

I look around,

The poverty, fear and

Sorrow that grew.

'Darkness is engraved in the

Strands of our DNA now,

It'd not be weird if you

Are wondering how?'

How....

Evolution!

'Like our tail remains no more

Than a bony protrusion,

The heart has left, remains only

An organ which pumps blood'

'In a flood-'

Dark barks,

'Light- the tiny schools of fishes,

Dark- the great sharks'

To the hellish came the heavenly,

To every Yin there's a Yang,

Into my(?) world entered light

With a blinding flash,

Deafening bang.

'Open your eyes'

Said light

I opened my eyes into a debate (or a fight?)

'Open your eyes'

Repeated light

I opened with all my might

(Or does it crave something more than sight?)

'Open your eyes,

Not the ones of your vessel'

Its words and my intelligence do wrestle,

Eyelids soothingly shuts,

Then answer whistles.

I look around,

My strengths, my weaknesses,

My obstacles and harnesses,

My wrong, my right,

My good, my bad,

My dark, my light.

'A smidgen of light in dark's eyes,

In light's look

Salient is good'

Dark trembled and shook.

'Greed and distractions flourished

As soon as hunger was born,

In this rose of light

Pick off the dark thorns,

Stairs of clouds await you

All the way to moon the station,

But even beyond that lies

Your true destination'
