One-Sided World
by Casey Jespon
© 2002

The Pen that draws it will not write
The knife that slices it will not dice
The woman that laughs she will not live
It is a one-sided world.
Only the worms can see the sky
Only the tongue that tastes the air
Only the music that won't speak up
Can sleep in this one-sided world.
Like a science teacher that knows no math
Only Dante can bring you Heaven
And the heart that wants to light your path
Shall see around this one-sided world.
