The Power of One - Or Two
The human condition often seeks simplicity,
For the complex mind to understand.
Looking through a window of forces to attract &
Repulse, as universal opposition seems planned.
These reactions may appear as solitary, yet
With outcomes that trend towards duality.
As paired views are born to manifest, some to
Follow the imaginary, others reality.
Recalling the phrase, ' It takes two to tango ',
Exemplifies this kinship that's ever-present & true.
Since there's no such thing as the perfect crime ...
There's always a remnant clue.
When we expand this relative philosophy,
To our presence in the world today.
We can see hot & cold, up & down, rich & poor,
Right & wrong, etc.- so many boundaries that guide the play.
Just as were compelled to believe independently,
We're also drawn by others to influence & share.
Begging the question, if this bond is compatible,
Or is it about power and blending to be fair.
As our current condition exemplifies, where
Multiple answers to any question seems real.
Bringing power to confusion and calamity, and
Changing another's mind, is the absolute ideal.
