#89 New Words - Dichotomy

Listen up, as I help you:



Remove the dichotomy

Lose the lobotomy

And stop your world view from shrinking

Despite the polarity

Realise that contrariety

Does not only equal two ways of thinking



Alright, let's rewind it back a little



When I was just a young cur

As most of us once were

I would struggle to see more than two sides

So when I'd want an opposition

My natural disposition

Was to take the first position I realised



And then not think any further



Let me provide an example

Just a little small sample

Of the type of thinking that used to vex me

See I saw on television

The nauseating preposition

That was life was only worth living if you're sexy



So what did I do?



Now, not to come on strong

But this was clearly wrong

So I decided that life should be blander

That each and every person

Should have a natural aversion

To this clearly incorrect propaganda



So what did I miss?



As I only heard one voice

I didn't realise the choice

That I could just give people the option

I shouldn't force others to display

That people should choose their own way

And select own mindset for adoption



The lesson from this?



I took time to realise

I'd become what I despise

By forcing others into my point of view

There is always at least 3 criteria

But then, giving me hysteria

I realised there could even be a forth option too...



dichotomy: a division or contrast between two things that are or are represented as being opposed or entirely different.
