The House Divides

In a good house, open roofs allow for light

In a bad house, there are only solid walls


In a good house, doors are placed on detour sides

In a bad house, there are only front doors and back doors


In a good house, windows are placed high to let light flow

In a bad house, there are only curtained and low windows.


In a good house, people may speak truth and be warmly at peace

In a bad house, people may only listen to live in hypocrisy, and  watch their backs.


In a good house, people may know the time and chance that happens to them and their neighbours

In a bad house, people may not certainly count on their steady times and chances


In a good house, people love people and use money as a tool

In a bad house, people love money and use people as tools


In a good house, the sincere children can say the emperor is without clothing

In a bad house, the children's cold tongues may only affirm that the emperor is gorgeous


In a good house, every weakness can be made strength

In a bad house, every weakness can  be sternly maintained.


In a good house, people can sit to eat a humble pie.

In a bad house, people may only eat  arrogant bread.


In a good house, people can be openly human.

In a bad house, people can only be inhumane robots.


In a good house, people can question the rule and the rulers.

In a bad house, people can only answer to whims of the rule and the rulers.


In a good house, the free is free to live.

In a bad house, the free can only leave.


In a good house, fishes are left in water.

In a bad house, fishes are brought to land.


In a good house, we can search things out.

In a bad house, all things have been found.


...


On which divide is your house?
