The Balance of Power
The universe is holding on various powers and is in constant movement.
The Balance of Power
The strong tend to crush the weak,
But the weak remain the strongest.
Immoral deeds undertaken by the strong
Become destructive to themselves.
Sooner or later the roles are reversed.
Life goes on, in different combinations
After the rain comes the sun;
After nighttime comes the day
Nature is made up of opposites:
Positive and negative, big and small
Leading and trailing, active and inactive
People go from one extreme to the other.
It is not given to everyone to know
The basic rule of the balance of power
The whole universe is held in balance
And what we face are divergent forces
Contingent upon the manner in which
These forces and elements are used,
The results will be good or bad
Constructive or destructive
It is up to us to use what we have
To produce constructive outcomes.
Those who do not understand
The characteristics of these forces
Should stay away from them.
