Is darkness and evil synonymous? Is light and good synonymous? Two contrary modes of being Exist for the artist's eye Before light was formed – darkness Before good was formed – evil If darkness and evil were firstborn Then they are the artist’s canvas From this canvas light can bloom From this canvas good can form Without it light would have no value Without it good would have no shape It’s easy to leave the canvas blank Never to paint a stroke It’s harder to paint the color of good But worth it to see the light

The Art of Good and Evil
Is darkness and evil synonymous? Is light and good synonymous? Two contrary modes of being Exist for the artist's eye Before light was formed – darkness Before good was formed – evil If darkness and evil were firstborn Then they are the artist’s canvas From this canvas light can bloom From this canvas good can form Without it light would have no value Without it good would have no shape It’s easy to leave the canvas blank Never to paint a stroke It’s harder to paint the color of good But worth it to see the light
