Life on a Tight-rope
(declare nothing)by John Dempsey

Declare yourself neutral in a world of
Dividing lines,
In a world of
Party ties

Cause neutralness is open
And I pray to… whatever
And hope that your neutralness is
In the name intelligence

One definition of intelligence is:
Holding two contradictory statements in your head
At once

So claim your neutrality in the name of
Intelligence
And spit on it in the name of
Ignorance (spit on anything in the name of ignorance)

If a flag is raised you will
be defined by it
and shut off to the other
instead rise none and except all

second thought don’t
declare neutrality:
cause then your on the side of it
