When is near, far
or local, remote?
Who describes?
When is upside, down
or inside, out?
Who devises?
How true are north, south,
east and west?
Who divines?
When does hub become edge
or isle, mainland?
Who defines?
Who lives within
or beyond the pale?
Who divides?
Who rules the straight
or scores the encircling lines?
Who decrees?
Who inks the spaces pink
across the globe?
Who dictates?
Who erases
then renames the places?
Who deceives...marking the checkpoints
with double crosses?
Who dares?
And who defies?
For this earth embraces all, embraces all.
