When I look inside
I see that the height of the light
Is as deep as the dark
Thoughts of peace
And equally of hostility
Everyday is a choice
All others carry this contrast of light
And darkness
This I know
But I am acutely aware of it
Within myself
I give my mind freedom
To go wherever it carries me
But ultimately
The choice is always mine
When it comes to action
In the outside world
To make peace
Or violence
I choose peace
