There can be no freedom

without some restraint

Nor a license or permit

without some constraint.

There can be no sound 

without silence or pause,

Nor any effect

without reasonable cause.

There can be no truth

without any fiction,

Nor logic determined 

without contradiction,

Government without

any stiff opposition;

An article lacking

In good composition

There can be no lovers

Unfamiliar with hate,

Joy without grief 

outside its gate;

There can be no wealth

without needs to meet

An honest broker,

with never a cheat.

No purity without 

the fear of pollution,

A meeting of minds

without resolution.

The parallel ways

of winning or losing

Depend on how

we determine the choosing.
