Today we had a diff’rent day @ school
the normal teacher was away so we
did diff’rent things; it could have been quite cool!
Instead we tried to hear, & think, & see,
& learn about the "right" side of the brain.
A fellow said it could do magic stuff;
& I believe it 'coz I've seen again
how magic’ly it operates in tough
& tricky situations - It connects
us with the world around us where we live
& helps us to "belong” in all respects
not just to 'use'; but even how to give...
That’s not to say what’s left is “just no good”!
That speech and language (indexed by that side)
have no place, or can’t help, or that we should
not use them to communicate (or hide)
the truth about ourselves (or what goes down)
from those about us with their interests -hey!-
in us, our world, our country, or our town.
It’s just that we’ll think in a diff’rent way
not just about “What is it that I want?
(Though we might well be quite aware of that,)
We’ll also think of body-language, font,
and who we might affect by what we’ve shat..
within the eco-system we received -
to influence for good, in ev’ry act,
and word, and thought (imagined, or perceived).
The "right"* sees right, by rights, (and rite,) in fact!
* i.e. the right-hemisphere of the human brain (as understood by the statistically verified generalisation of what is common in the human species, while acknowledging variations in individual bodily manifestations of the general "rule".
