White Hat Universe
Matter and anti-matter differ
from other opposites so much
it would almost be better
to name them something else.
Love and hate, as we all know
turn easily into each other
if they can even be distinguished
in their natural state.
Fascism and anti-fascism
for that matter, seem
indistinguishable aside
from the antis slinking off
in masks to hide
instead of flaunting uniforms.
With matter and its anti-
it’s more like computer viruses
and anti-virus:
for a stable universe to result
one side has to win;
in our case it’s
the one we don’t call anti.

it´s all just theory
there is no real opposite
in life, this universe
keeps boiling down
to common grounds
there is no real opposite
cos if there were
we´d just annihilate each other
instantly, but no
we´ve been at it
for centuries, millenia
there is no real opposite
except for death
there is no real opposite except
inside our heads
