Ignorance

It is not possible to love

when we do not know of hate,

happiness can not exist

when there is no sad with which to compare,

calm means nothing

if anger has never struck,

peace is only appreciated

when war has been felt,

beauty wouldn't be noticed

if there weren't such a thing as ugly,

we can't know generosity

without seeing selfishness.

But how can we feel happy

we we turn our eyes from the bad,

shove the sadness in the corner?

We can't, it doesn't follow the law,

the happy is not whole.
