A Poem

The profanity of creating duality in humanity

A nonexistent existence

Forcing torturous courses

Mapped haphazardly

Wrapping and trapping us in painful happenstance

As we dance fighting between prudence and romance

Just to have a happy life

    Dualities do tend to be false & arbitrary. Prudence or romance are not the only two possibilities. There are entire & infinite spectra, including the possibility of a prudential romance or romantic prudence. Finding happiness? I'll let you know if I ever do.
