Yin and Yang from Wikipedia.
The symbol so succinct, the black and white
The contrast so clear is like day and night
The Chinese call it the yin and the yan
A circle, or sphere, ends where it began
It's like a school year, back home, then back here
Or a holiday, places far away
Let's try something new, an expensive game,
Spice makes it taste nice, it looks just the same
Like breakfast and lunch, I have a hunch
New dishes a game, hide what's just the same
Now my second childhood, pretend I'm glad
Hide what's inside, life is sand, I'm not sad
The secret to life, pretend you're winning
Pretend the end is a new beginning.
Central, clear as your nose, like matching clothes
Though small as a thimble, a meaningful symbol.
