here or there

 

there has more to offer

than here

though some may doubt it

here we have this

while there they have that

it must be said

that sometimes

the reverse is true

put another way

two is better than one

except when isn't

sometimes it is

one can never be sure

unless one can

it becomes very hard

to choose between

this and that

when that and this

(or even there and here)

look equally appealing

or unappealing

or somewhere in between

flip a coin

draw straws

that never works

it's rarely black or white

or white or black

though sometimes it is

sometimes it's gray

first you see it one way

then the other

sometimes it's too dark to see

sometimes it's blue

how is one to choose

choose the least worst option

choose the best option

let someone else choose

choose nothing 

let life dictate the outcome

if no answer is right

perhaps the question is wrong

if the question is wrong

then what

if the question is right

the choice may be neither

or both

or some of each

if one must choose

and cannot

return to it later 

sleep on it

procrastinate

pretend there isn't a choice to make

some (people)

are decisive

wrong or right they choose

which is fine

when it's fine

often it isn't

sometimes it matters

to me

or to you

or neither

or both

so 

la ti da

and there you go

or da ti la

and here you go

 

here or there 

i'd like know

you can go and leave your country for a better-off country, some things will be easier than in your old country, but some new problems will appear that you will have to face....
