Analysis of Divide The World In Two
Divide the world in two with nothing in between.
Observe the difference among the wide extreme.
There are the generous who pour out like a sieve.
There are the tightfisted who never learn to give.
There are the keen-minded who show intelligence.
There are the insipid who relish ignorance.
There are the controllers who dominate their prey.
There are the submissives who surrender their way.
There are the kindhearted who volunteer a hand.
There are the pitiless who yield no room to stand.
There are the ethical who manifest goodwill.
There are the immoral who cause an overkill.
There are the good-looking who beautify each scene.
There are the repulsive who spook on Halloween.
There are the believers who represent the truth.
There are the deceivers who evidence no couth.
There are selfless givers who help everyone win.
There are stingy takers who seem to just breathe in.
Divide the world in two with nothing in between.
Observe the difference in wondrous and obscene.
