Adversity Rising

A Poem by Gilad Levanon

What doth motivate the rise of our power?
What doth encourage us to embrace who we are?
What doth make us choose not to cower?
What doth give us strength to open the jar?

Is it a sense of false ambition?
Is it a desire for greater vision?
Is it a ploy to stroke our own egos?
Is it a ploy to delay our final throes?

Or is it our purpose to explore?
Or is it our design to understand more?
Or is it our true intention to know why?
Or is it our fear of things that make us cry?

Do you wish for the peace of a dove?
Do you flee the pain of a tear?
Do you follow love?
Do you follow fear?

Are they one and the same?
Are they two sides of a coin?

Is this a twisted and evil game?
Is this a divine song to make all things join?
