by @ian-steele

There are 10 kinds of people in this world, and binary accounts for them all. They're happy and sad. They're ones and zeros. Villains and heroes. Villains, yet not all bad. Despite everything life decides to hurl; Despite every brick ball of fear Through the stained glass windows of their minds, Through it all, they survive. They're angry and glad. They're happy and sad. And in their duality, they're still smiling there at your sharp hasty words at your venomous hurt that you wish so desperately they, too, shared.

Love thy enemy.

 

Special thanks to Kelley A Vinal for the binary inspiration. You can read her poetry here: http://hellopoetry.com/kelley-a-vinal/

 

It's pretty solid.
