The Higher Mathematics

How much difference makes a difference?
How many is too many?
How far is far enough?

How many wrongs make a right?
How do the extremes become the means?
How does a point become a pattern?

What is true
When everything said for it is false?
And everything said against it is true?

What is right
When everything right works wrong?
And everything wrong works right?

Why do we think we can bring in a new good
By reviving old evils?
Why is it always true but never a fact?

Why does the right to be wrong
Become the right to do wrong?
Why what we perpetuate also preponderates?

When can a fact not be a fact?
When you are blessed
Does that mean the rest of us are damned?

"All Things Pass" says the philosopher
But some not soon enough
And time seems still and all seems ill.

And yet our lives don't stand still.
Burdened alive with every ill.
Given no rest and against our will.

When does fooling become ruling?
When does reason recognize reality?
And Law approach morality?
