Synthesis

                Synthesis

Examine for yourself the claim that love

Is noblest and the mightiest of all.

Is it far better than the truth, above

An iron-like honesty?  Is love more tall

Than mountained decency?  And is not hate

Sometimes required to make things work?  The list

Might grow in length.  If you assassinate

A Mussolini, love is simply missed

From that equation.  Sometimes love is wrong.

If it appeals for mercy, hope is bleak

In tyranny.  When righteous hate is strong

It must not suffer love to make it weak.

..Both love and hate are needed.  They both can

….Perfect a balanced, brave, and stabbing man.
