The World Through Freud-Colored Glasses

I wrote this poem as part of my College's L&T (Language and Thinking) Program that preceeds Freshman Year by 3 weeks. Many thanks to Bach for her assistance in writing it. Flamefang 00:57, August 30, 2011 (UTC)
The World Through Freud-Colored Glasses
In all things, in all humanity
of all the vast array of emotions
none drive the world forward
quite so much as love and hate
For if love knows not hate
and hate knows not love
How can either one survive
without the gentle caress
of love's fair touch
Hate's glancing blows
would be lost in a sea of night
Without the searing sting
of hate's harsh might
love's healing touch
would be lost to the abyss
Love and hate
drive the very world yet
through cultures’ cold stare
a mask is worn forcing them down
driving them to the ground
To be seen and not heard
To be there but never spoken
Culture in all its glory
In all its strength
As knowledge flourishes
and instincts are sharpened
is this the truth that shines in the light
Or does the truth lie within
buried so deep where hate festers
behind walls so thin
