As we all spin the center
around we revolve
has the time come to question?
the questions resolve

As we all spin the center


I love this first line, but I don't think you mean it the same way I take it. The idea of the  center, the middle, the moderate is almost always characterized as the best way or method.

It is not, but we find ourselves stuck in compromises that force us into that position.
As a result, we have to 'spin the center' line in order to even be heard.

around we revolve


I'm lost in your syntax, I don't get what's going on here.

Drop the question mark as this and the next line are fine together.

quote:
the question's resolve


But this is just the beginning. What is the question? Obscurity is often used in place of depth until, I don't know, someone like William Shatner comes in asks simple questions about the question. This is just the beginning, where are you going here?
