Black and white



Let the white thing be white
Black things are black
Evil is what we know is evil
Good is good.

How much play on the ground
Observing everyday
Evil-good mixed up
All are flowing.

Difference from good to evil
Should be able to recognize
The conscience must be awakened
Without fail.

If the fortune is good
One can see the face of good
So till one has the time
Look for that.
