Divided sides

‘Better a gay monster than a sentimental bore.’ Voltaire.

Truth is to be happy now

Than dwelling in the past,

And dreaming of how things once were

Rather than how they can be,

Society has become divided now, between man the beast of prey,

And between man the utopian ideal being,

The first is cruel and predatory

The other is spiritual, and nature borne,

You have the choice of which side to stand on,

The side of darkness, negativity and hate

The other side is light, positivity and kindness,

Is happiness derived from the first or the second

Of this mankind inspired divide?
