“One” [Reflections On Book - 100 Ideas That Changed Graphic Design Stephen Heller and Veronique Vienne - #69B]

So that is it! I knew this tool
Unhelpful was – created pool
Of ignorance in doing task,
If we a group of people ask.

A camel, definition runs,
Is horse – committee’s useless sum
Of ignorance pooled in this way;
But chapter here has much to say –

A group is great to help define
A problem – well, not all the time,
But it can bring perspectives in
Which hold up factors, help us win.

Paul said, “Discern the body, folks,
Or you’ll get weak, then sick, no joke –
Then, if you still step out alone,
You’ll die, as you in desert roam.”

Right tool; wrong task? Best leave it by,
For body-life, if you ask why,
Is great at times, but not always –
“Discerning spirits”, often pays.

And that may not be done at all
By group in session – sometimes small
Is voice inside one obscure guy,
As Spirit bursts, lest body die.

For it’s not “One” as “Single One”
But “One” as body smoothly run;
“Group-think”, “The herd”, we know such well –
“One body-part”, best way can tell.

Thanks Lord for this.
