Labels

Dualistic thinking is a false dichotomy
I'm caught up in the mindstuff
Comparing to categorize
When I label anything
I disconnect from Now
Is it Good or Evil?
Compulsive critical me

It's been said that
Nothing's good or bad
But thinking makes it so

Poisoning the present moment
Suffering from it every day
Resistance and attachment
Are carved into our DNA

And when I label something
Eating from the tree
Is it Good or Evil
Compulsive critical me
Resistance starts to build-up
And I am no longer free

Call it Evolution or
Call it the Fall of Man
Our limbic loops habituate
A chronic need to judge

In almost every circumstance
We are totally subjective
Can any of our labels
Have value that's objective?

It's been said that
Nothing's good or bad
But thinking makes it so

Poisoning the present moment
Suffering from it every day
Resistance and attachment
Are carved into our DNA

When I label something
Eating from the tree
Is it Good or Evil?
Compulsive critical me

When I label something
Eating from the tree
It's been said that
Nothing's good or bad
But thinking makes it so
