2. The other spirals wild with light,
New ground laid with every stride,
It burns with questions, change, and fire-
Unfinished, open, undefined.

3. One speaks in terms like known, secure,
With hands that hold and rules that bind,
It shields the past beneath its wing,
And plants its flags in humankind.

4. The other sings in tones of risk,
Of futures born in friction's flame,
It casts off maps, and dares to feel
Beyond the safe, beyond the same.

5. One says: “Protect. Preserve the core.”
The other: “Grow. We can be more.”
One fears the breach, the broken gate—
The other fears a locked-down fate.

6. One voice believes that strength is order,
That truth is tallied, weighed, and named.
The other bends to listen longer,
Where silent grief has gone unnamed.

8. But somewhere in the narrowing gap,
A softer bridge begins to form,
From compromise, from shared despair,
From learning how to weather storms.

9. Perhaps not right, perhaps not left,
But something forged from both held tight—
Not just a torch, not just a shield—
But hands that build beneath the fight.

1. One path wears stone, smooth-worn with age,
Guardrails trimmed in ordered lines,
Each footstep echoes what came before - A comfort found in well-walked signs.

7. They meet—sometimes—in bitter clash,
Steel and glass, belief and breath,
Two hearts that beat with different clocks,
Each sure the other leads to death.
