Dichotomous Hippopotamus

Dichotomous Hippopotamus

The dichotomy inside of me,
Is, indubitably, old to me,
Alas, I intend to fare it well,
To drain its well,
To buy and sell,
Strip it of its hardened shell,
In order to quell the ringing bells,
Of antiquity that anchor me,
So unsuitably, bereft of me.

'Tis the general rule to ridicule,
Ordain them fool when the logic pools,
Alas, I intend to draw the line,
As once refined,
In ancient times,
By the minds that redefined,
At once aligned the greatest of minds,
From the mental spool of mental fuel,
To the vestibule of golden rule.
