Ambivalence

Ambivalence

     Any action that comes to mind
     May be unambiguously defined.
     But being uncertain of the intention planned,
     Indecision will promptly show its hand.
     Very soon the action will be declined.
     Ambivalence is the way to go
     Lest any preference should start to show.
     Each idea in conflict with those past
     Never was determined to be the last.
     Conclusively, therefore, I have to say
     Equivocation is here to stay.

Hi Barry.. We live in a crazy, sometimes scary, world of reality. But here on this page is another world.. one of wonder, creativity, adventure, and imagination. Stoping in and checking out your skillful write is the highlight of my day!

Some people bi-pass reality by developing a high skill in indecision and equivocation. Thanks for your comment. // Barry
