Sex

ewenwen2007

Sex, the primitive yet omnipotent mechanism
Of drives, arouses ecstatic life ---
And anguishing death combined.
Behind every scene on the versatile
Shakespearean stage --- be it grand or bleak,
Director Libido maneuvers melodramas that
Befall us --- U.S. and former U.S.S.R alike.

A tug of war enshrouded in riot,
Between the hereditary, prefabricated impulse
And the installed, prescribed reason,
Heralds an unsleeping battle
With truce unseen ---
Yet if marrying both in harmony, like
The way hydrogen meets oxygen,
We may orchestrate ourselves for
An euphoric symphony of Zen --- equilibrium revisited.
