Neutral spaces

The world is full of vindictive faces
Seeking retribution in all kinds of spaces
And, well, sometimes retribution is justified

It is important to be consistent in philosophy
To speak out against injustice without apology
Yet also to have a place where apologies can be realised

Neutral spaces should probably not be the norm
So that we can pretend no conflict is the default form
But they should still exist

Because we need to share some culture and art
Lest we become a fully separate and torn apart
With no reason for peace to persist

Neutral is not apolitical, and should not be confused for such
Yet neutral spaces can be important, where we can all share in much
Just make sure you don't do it for avarice
Or just to avoid conflict in cowardice
But acknowledge the reason for the neutrality
And you will create a space to bridge humanity
