The comparison between two worlds
Is the largest distance formed.
Each is nearly the total contradiction
Of the other, and of itself.
Respect, loyalty and efficiency
On one side of the line;
Laziness, noise and rudeness
Thrive in the opposite ambient.
Tell me which world to live in
As I belong in neither.
Can there not be a middle?
Like Earth is
Between Heaven and Hell?
I if I belong neither here
Nor there were I was,
Where does one go?
The heat and friendliness
Flowing from Africa,
To the cold and rain
On the mountains of Europe.
Tell me that I am lost,
And I will easily believe,
For it is not here,
Nor there, nor where
Do I belong.
I thrive for difference
Which cannot be achieved
If rules are to be followed.
Yet who can plainly say
That they only live in one world
If they dream about the other.
