Corners



Corners

Is that a pink, red triangle or an arrow facing left?
Perhaps a colored pyramid or a road sign stuck in the dirt
Maybe the NAZI designation for those of an alternative bent
The triangulation that became the Euclidean postulate

See significance in symbol and interpretation
Perspective and affect, a thorough dissertation
The Bard accurately declared that “being” is the ultimate realization
For if we don’t think, we’re merely reacting to stimulation

And when we think, to rely on reason
Yet emotion creeps in and weakness is human
Weakness relies on fear for success
Suddenly the mix conflicts with morality, the standards princess

So do I go with the crowd and see disappointment in mother’s eyes?
Rather stand for your own mind with truth, even if alone
Not much is given to thoughtful contrarianism
There are no faerie tale rides, that’s wishful thinking
