Pragmatic Metaphoric
Philosophy
It's a curious thing
That never ending argument
Over what is right and what
is wrong
And what is you and what is
not
Where words lie end to end
and yet do not
Appear to describe anything;
That dichotomous myth
Seeming so enduring.
Mirage me you, mirage me me
Then will we all be free?
Pontifications on the
thoughts of others
As though they aren't our
sisters and brothers
Or part of us, or what is
right
Where God might be or rather
not
So often do we lose the
plot;
And who is what and where
and why,
I'd really rather eat some
pie
(Actually that's poetic
since I'm not a fan
Of pastry so that leaves out
flan)
But you get my gist
If I have to squirm and
twist
To find agreement, or if you
insist
I see another as my foe
How can any of us grow
Or even see reality?
I'd really rather kiss or be
kissed
Pragmatically metaphorically
Or love yourself as if
you're me
Or me be you and you be me
It matters not for where we
lie
We cannot lie, for in truth
we be
Reflections in the others I.

Dichotomous - Division into two parts, often mutually opposed, the one not
