Dissonance

Faceless yet strong,
standing guard over thier world.
Righteous yet wrong,
A long forgotten banner unfurled.

Lost in dark thought,
swirling and sinking.
With time ill bought,
used for faulty thinking.

Simplicity often set aside,
for the sake of our sins.
Pain encouraged by pride, 
Even when nobody wins.

So many things are not this or that,
but wrapped in a maelstrom of yes, maybe, and no.
Yet when presented with binary fact,
We make life more chaotic as we go.

And when shown problems of great complication,
with decisions to be made by wise voices.
We choose with far too much elation,
To make them into yes or no choices.

I enjoy a challenge as much as the next,
Looking, watching, and thinking.
And try not to make too much of any text,
And into the unknown stand blinking.

I refuse to make simple what is not,
And refuse to uncomplicate an argument.
And although it will leave me behind a lot,
It might just let strong ideas ferment.
