There's the long
and the short-
the high
and the low-
the near
and the far-
the rise
and the fall-
the right
and the left-
the strong
and the weak-
the faith
and the disbelief-
the noise
and the quiet-
the hero
and the coward-
the narrow
and the broad-
the seen
and the invisible -
the finite
and the infinite-
the present
and the past-
the light
and the dark-
the clarity
and the obscurity-
the winner
and the loser-
the seller
and the buyer-
the pretty
and the ugly-
the success
and the failure-
the hate
and the love-
the enjoyment
and the annoyance-
the peace
and the restless-
the gentle
and the rough-
the gentleman
and the rogue-
the temptation
and the resistance -
the going-forward
and the stepping-backward-
the cold
and the hot-
the fertile
and the arid -
the wise
and the stupid-
the poor
and the rich-
the generous
and the parsimonious -
the contented
and the greedy-
the healthy
and the sick-
the liquid
and the solid-
the opportune
and the untimely-
the tangible
and the ungraspable -
the entry
and the exit-
for everything
(this is the truth)
there's the 'is'
and the 'is not'.
