    Poem Commentary

    With what to see the world, we need the presence of both light and dark to see perfectly.

    With What to See the World

     I see the world in black and white
    With nothing in between
    With all the things that pass me by
    The things I haven't seen

    It crossed my mind as like a sea
    When darkness in me grew
    With all the lies I told myself 
    Not knowing what was true

    The light inside did grow beside
    Blinding all my mind
    I looked for good inside myself
    Not knowing what I'll find

    The truth is that I just don't know
    With what I need to look
    The sequential feelings in my heart
    The truth that people took

    It seems to me that we need them both
    The dark as well as light
    The ridiculous notion that in this world
    There's nothing left to fight

    The dark does blind from darkness
    The light does blind from light
    Wishing the world another sun
    Not taking to the night

    So see the truth for what it is
    Inside ourselves we know
    The light and dark confront us all
    Don't let the evil grow

    I love this! Especially as a continuation of your poem 'Light and Dark'.

    Poetry comes nearer to vital truth than history.
