The world is too uptight,
There are too many invisible lines,
That enslave and divide,
The very fragments of our minds.

We need to see through walls,
Through labels and definitions,
Know that what we know,
Is always open to question.

We need to see the arts in science,
And the science in the arts,
The reason in our doctrines,
And the doctrines in our reason.

We can worry about picking sides,
Or work on crossing divides,
We can cut down a fruitless tree,
Or be thankful for its shade.
