on a person's radial ontology
consider the cost of
making that story come true
as well as the cost of
not making it come true
and the higher each cost
the brighter that story shines
but also
costs that can be deferred
we'll light in blue
while undeferrable costs
will be red
so when bright red
costs of INaction
outshine bright red
costs of action
it's time to get movin'
but when costs of inaction
are just bright blue
the red costs of action
may keep you down
when we get to know another
we begin to learn these colors
on their ontology
perhaps we can even suggest
actions they haven't thought thru
but we have to care
to empathize with their costs
and the socialist theory of government
is that where government
can efficiently reduce
the majority's costs
it should attempt that
