Relativity


There are two sides to ev'ry story:
I've only room for one.
But not the left or right beside me,
The monad came from none.

So don't you tell me he said she,
I'd really pay no mind.
I'm neither with and nor against you,
Blessed, but not with time.

My manner coarse, and less than humble
Perhaps, it's true, I'm rude.
Rough edges meet and grind together
And that's what makes them smooth.

You want to tell me right and wrong
And plead and prove your case.
If earth agrees, but Heaven not
Then time, oh what a waste!

You want to tell your side of things,
But me, I just don't care.
Agreement of the world entire
Can't free us from this snare.

The popular appeal, it comforts.
But only for a time.
And boosts the ego high and mighty
And distant from sublime.

So labor why for counterfeits
And not the real of gold?
Convincing of the human minds
Cannot release the soul.

So labor thus and duly dig
and all it comes for naught.
Will agreement of the world entire
Soothe your bones of rot?

There are two sides to ev'ry story:
I'd rather hear the one. 
Don't speak of relativity,
I'd rather cleave to none.
