I look at you and decide what to do
an instant passes and yet lives
are changed by casual decision
It is this or that?
Left or Right?
Black or White?
Wrong or Right?
Alright, I realise that political alignment is not casual
Language tells you which way you go
It is easier to think like this
Subject to approval
like this or like that
you must cross the floor
Knowing on which side we sit
That or this
In between is a vacuum
A no-space, antigravity
instability
If you are not a communist you must be a capitalist
If you are not a scientist you are a creationist
if you are not a follower you are a leader
Where is the centre: abandoned?
You must:
Decide which side and stay confined
Defend your tribe and be defined
You forgot:
Real thinking is a spectrum
Even a rainbow is a slice of possibility
the gaps between boundaries, the inflection
maintaining nuance is the gift of responsibility
