Premise: There is always a gap between having a vision or a mission or making a decision and the actual effecting of any of these. Many are times we find ourselves insisting on sitting on the fence and all such times we always tend to end up in deep regret.
The mark-timer!
She prefers to seat straight on the fence
She prefers to not please the right
She prefers not to displease the wrong
She is pleased in taking the popular seat
She is neither too cold nor too hot
She ever prefers the lukewarm of things
She knows it always betrays her conscience
She knows daily it gives an ache to her integrity
How she hates it when people go into details
She abhors any attempts to dig deeper into reality
She really likes the bubble feeling of the fence
She knows fences only have temporary peace but
That too she digs not deep enough
Just how long can she stay on the fence?
Just how much help can she offer as a bubble?
I tell her sitting on fences only breeds pretense
I tell her the fence gives no room for defense
But she dismissed me for daring to dig deeper
On the issue of sitting on the fence
She said fences are her best for sitting on
And argued they aren't good for debating things
I saw her defiance as on offence against truth
She saw my advice as an offence against her peace
She really likes the bubble feeling of the fence
She knows fences only have temporary peace but
That too she digs not deep enough
