Poem Artwork

When we say that things

Are slightly alike or

Slightly different,
 
This is what is called
 
'Making little of difference.'
 
 
When we say that things
 
Are completely alike
 
Or completely different,
 
This is what is called

'Making much of difference.'

 

We use to know that men

Have what they can do

And what they cannot do.

Hence we use to say,

'He who selects does not reach all.'

 
 
By learning something, we cannot

Get all, and only Heaven's Course

Can afford to neglect nothing --

That is the difference between

The heavenly and the human ways.

 

So, sometimes I think to myself,

If the difference is so great,

What the heck is the difference?

an interesting and humorous play on words; but that strikes at the heart of the truth. Well done. John

I like your last line. Makes me wonder what you good do with the word, "indifference."
