Tradeoff

stretching taut in summersault bending over the back bends the ends of the middle at the middle of the end blinded blinders - the two-timers left just right the hill climbers seen clear as a piece of glass left to see right through that other class intransigence moving the new political compromise defined as weakly criminal preferable to know right than accommodate cooperation too disturbing to contemplate craning neck to the horizons see what party line can fit master key the middle way ain't between extremes so via media ain't what it seems life's water is wide, and cold, and deep no matter to struggle to top o' the heap when a house is divided, and so sits down its arms folded across, to sink and drown when given a choice between happy and right can we choose cleanly between delight and ignite tradeoff's made, are never completely the cure but allowed to progress, our house can endure © Goode Guy 2013-03-05 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Via_media
