The Dilemma



There is black and there is white,
 there is truth and there is lie,
 there is dark and there is light,
 which one is better who knows, do I, do I,
 there are dreams and there is reality,
 there is destruction and there is stability,
 there is randomness and sanity,
 which side to pick, should I, should I,
 there are people and here is me,
 there are expectations and walker,
 yet there are rules and follower,
 accept this fate, should I, should I,
 i can see petals, can see thorns too,
 i can see calmness, can see turbulence too,
 i can see humor, can see dear too,
 which one to face, can I, can I,
 between 1's and 0's, yes i am,
 distinguishing hell & heaven, yes i am,
standing at junction of two paths, yes i am,
 which one is just, is it,
 should be atheist or not, i don't know,
 m i the supreme, i don't know,
 should i care care, i don't know,
 is there something known, am I, am I.
