The House (draft 1)
There is a house on top of a hill.
Around the house are an infinite number of spectators.
Some claim to see two windows and a door,
Others just one window,
Others three windows,
And others just one door.
The crowds yell over the house:
"You're crazy there are obviously three windows!"
"No stupid, that's not a window it's a door!"
And "There's just one window."
And so on.
Some become so enraged they want to tear down the house.
Fortunately others stop them.
Then one man decides he is going to settle it once and for all
So he gets in a helicopter and flies over the house.
"My God you'll never believe what I saw..."
He says when he lands.
"What, What, What!"
They all exclaim.
"A pyramid"
And they walk away, declaring him a lunatic
But what I don't understand about all these people,
Is that they cannot see,
That all of their perspectives
Together,
Complete the picture
To make the house.
