Erasing<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beware the trap of sweeping, broad dictations,
For dangers lurk in thought’s wide-spread embrace,
In generalizations, we find complications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though tempting, they can lead to false narrations,
Oversimplifying, truth they often efface
Beware the trap of sweeping, broad dictations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In painting all with one brush, in exaggerations,
Individuality’s beauty we erase,
In generalizations, we find complications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In varied souls, we miss the variations,
Complexity’s essence, in haste we replace,
Beware the trap of sweeping, broad dictations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let not bias and ignorance be our foundation,
See the world’s intricacies, embrace,
In generalizations, we find complications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So seek the truth beyond shallow summations,
Resist the pull of this perilous space,
Beware the trap of sweeping, broad dictations,
In generalizations, we find complications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
