First, there was infinity Out of infinity came darkness and light Which were divided into night and day The light of day gave birth to the sea, the sky and the earth The darkness of night gave birth to more It began with doom Which brought death Caused by disease and old age After living life of suffering Suffering from pain, mockeries and lies Lies told by fakes who used illusion Illusions to cause discord and fights Fights that ended in war, ****** and ruin From the ruins came misery And from that misery came starvation Which caused plundering and deceit Deceit showed the way to defilement The defilers began to harvest pride The pride lashed out harsh criticisms Those criticisms caused obsessions to destroy blemishes and defects The path to doing so lead to lawlessness until all that was left was the choice to forget all that had happen or place the blame somewhere It was inescapable Yet, all of that was only half of what spawned from infinity The light of day beared the sky, sea and earth Encompassing them was time and nature Time held possibilities Possibilities to create To create life Life full of love Love full of live And yes, each fate is the same Death The start, the length of each life and the eventual end But each destiny differs Nature The ebbing and flowing of order The force coming from infinity Binding all living things To heal and to bestow gifts Gifts of guidance Of peace and truth Truths that speak of joy and undeniable beauty Encouragement and relief But what is it that separates the two? Keeping this world in proper balance? The answer is us. Look within yourself and see the infinity you hold Destroy it Then create anew

Dichotomy of Chaos
First, there was infinity Out of infinity came darkness and light Which were divided into night and day The light of day gave birth to the sea, the sky and the earth The darkness of night gave birth to more It began with doom Which brought death Caused by disease and old age After living life of suffering Suffering from pain, mockeries and lies Lies told by fakes who used illusion Illusions to cause discord and fights Fights that ended in war, ****** and ruin From the ruins came misery And from that misery came starvation Which caused plundering and deceit Deceit showed the way to defilement The defilers began to harvest pride The pride lashed out harsh criticisms Those criticisms caused obsessions to destroy blemishes and defects The path to doing so lead to lawlessness until all that was left was the choice to forget all that had happen or place the blame somewhere It was inescapable Yet, all of that was only half of what spawned from infinity The light of day beared the sky, sea and earth Encompassing them was time and nature Time held possibilities Possibilities to create To create life Life full of love Love full of live And yes, each fate is the same Death The start, the length of each life and the eventual end But each destiny differs Nature The ebbing and flowing of order The force coming from infinity Binding all living things To heal and to bestow gifts Gifts of guidance Of peace and truth Truths that speak of joy and undeniable beauty Encouragement and relief But what is it that separates the two?
