OF WHAT IS AND WHAT CAN BE - Poem

​What is not truth,
becomes illusion.
What is not love,
becomes lust.
What is not wise,
becomes ignorant.
What is not courage,
becomes conformity.
What is not abundance,
becomes scarcity.
What is not compassion,
becomes violence.
What is not authentic,
becomes repressed.
What is not ordered,
becomes chaos.
What is not harmony,
becomes dissonance.
What is not changed,
becomes challenged.
What is not understood,
becomes sorrow.
What is not felt,
becomes depressed.
What is not mastered,
becomes enslaved.
And what is not striving,
becomes dead.
