There are many who, like me or you <br />Seek gain without a loss <br />We work and work, by hook or crook <br />To win and be the boss. <br /> <br />To win alone, we've all been shown, <br />Is only an illusion. <br />The balance holds, that truth unfolds. <br />This law you can rely on. <br /> <br />Advance. Retreat. By love, complete. <br />We seek illumination. <br />Our loss offset by love's duet <br />The 'Law of Compensation'. <br /> <br />By Him alone, the Work gets done <br />For all, both less and greater. <br />He comes to Earth in human form <br />To be Here Now in Matter. <br /> <br />The World you see’s 'dualities'- <br />Defines our point of view. <br />To seek to win, ' not lose again, <br />Is just my need to beat you. <br /> <br />When love's the way I live my life <br />I give my self to others <br />To be a light to show the Way <br />To live as sister or brother.<br /><br />Edward Hester<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/winning-and-losing/
