Union (Poem)

The Rage.
The Flames.
The Beast.

You are a part of me,
We both know that,
But we are so separate.

We are in a conflict,
A war with each other;
We both want control.

I think what truly drives us,
Is our want to exist,
Without the other's oppression.

But our war is for dominance,
As the victor will rule forever,
And the loser will be lost.

Complete dominance is not good,
For either of us,
For we would be unbalanced.

An unbalanced top,
Is bound to fall,
And that would be the victor.

Neither of us want this,
So I will suggest
A simple solution.

I know what you are.
You are power,
And I need you.

You know what I am.
I am control,
And you need me.

Thus there is no point in war,
For it weakens us both.
Let us work as one.

Should we learn to work as one,
We could both benefit,
But first we must learn.

We must learn to rule as one,
As separate entities,
But together as one.

In essence we are two kings within one,
And fighting would only bring
The fall of our kingdom.

Both of our skills are needed to rule,
As a passive ruler is overthrown,
And an aggressive ruler destroys himself.

But a strong ruler,
Who is not blinded by rage,
Nor controlled by fear,
Can survive in a harsh world,
By exercising his will,
His strength and intelligence.

 People will bow to his will,
And will put trust in his choices,
But most of all they will love him.

If he is not guided by rage,
He will wage only needed wars,
And be kind to his people.

If he is not guided by fear,
He will fight the needed wars,
And protect his people.

Thus a union is needed,
As you are too angry,
And I am too fearful.

Your anger will give me courage,
And my fear will give you control,
Allowing us to become the perfect king.

Now we shall enact this idea,
And rid ourselves of our weaknesses,
Allowing us to achieve so much more.

Place your clawed hand out,
So that my careful one,
May shake it.

Good. This unites us.
Now we will forsake this war,
And work together to better ourselves.
