To Be 2d

DIMENSION CONTENTION

In the world of two dimensions
There is discord and dissension 
About what exists beyond 
The known space of which they’re fond

Some claim that’s it - just what they see
What else could there possibly be
Imagine more and you’re a dreamer
Or a superstitious schemer

You’d control the population
Giving fear of a damnation
In imaginary place
A third dimensionary space 

Then there’s those who by chance bump
Into a strange Z Axis stump
Find themselves in unknown state
Exhilarated yet distrait

In their transcendental epiphany
Seen by others with antipathy
And regarded as unstable 
Given psychiatric label

Yet others of more simple view
See their world as one way true
They’re the ones regarded dim
Branded ‘strait liners’ for their sin

So let’s congratulate ourselves
There’s no need to further delve
We know it all - every dimension
It’s all settled no contention

'dimension' is a word that tells the shape of a line space...flat, curved, fractal, strings etc...it's only a word used to scale all those actual realities out there that escape us so we may relate like the butterfly that caused a hurricane or cleared skies
