Tell me who did what and I’ll tell you if they’re a hero or a traitor.
Don’t muddy the waters with details, they only get in the way.

Polarity rules, over all.
I need to know which side you are on, as
Our intentions are divine; their results are demonic.

In this struggle,
Our warriors are the honorable ones in this righteous war; devious actions by a few are the exception and do not represent our cause. We are beyond reproach.

In this struggle,
Any sadistic behavior by an enemy defines their official position. The exception is the rule and they are far beyond redemption.

So, please remind me which flag you are waving,
because I need to condemn or condone
that glee on your blood splattered face and blood-lust in your eyes
as you dispatched that traitorous,
… young frightened boy.

I want to believe the sincerity in your shy smile
and schoolmarm demeanor.
I really do.

Long forgotten,
unmarked graves that will never be uncovered nor remembered.
Examples have to be made, after all it is war…

And polarity rules, over all.
Do we continue this madness?
Or do we begin to transcend and reconcile polarity?

“Everything is Dual; everything has poles; everything has its pair of opposites; like and unlike are the same; opposites are identical in nature, but different in degree; extremes meet; all truths are but half-truths; all paradoxes may be reconciled.”
– The Kybalion
