the fake lines we draw create a real division between you and me
the shortest distance is a man-made idea; nature doesn’t care
whether we stand in color within, read between lines control our lives
the lines we create to keep ourselves safe also will keep us apart
lines crisscross our lives some of them are permanent others fade away
we create a line then use that line to control what can happen there
we want our freedoms but are afraid of chaos when lines disappear
when we interact life is more beautiful than when we’re kept apart
as we move around an object, its lines lead us to different views
lines are drawn in life that we don’t notice until something reveals them
