Notes About The Poem

In the blender don't confuse or misuse Aristotelian logic with Boolean logic. If there is existential import does the mind comport or contort logic? Do we go down the path of math or do we cogit philosophical logic? Boolean’s objects neglects existence just because the math works doesn't mean something exists. It begs the question. Numbers don't lie, neither does the blue in the sky. The infliction of contradictions in a non-universal is an abstraction, and an abstraction is something not extended in space. We have the standard forms or deductive markers: the letters A,E,I,O. In the word Aff[I]rmo, (the A and I are the affirmative) and in nEgO (the E and O are the negation) in presuppositional logic.

"For I would that ye knew what great conflict I have for you, and for them at Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh; That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ: In Whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge." Colossians 2:1-3

The answer to the last question of the poem is: (and by our reason resting on our faith we believe what God has said as truth) “And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.” Genesis 2:16-17

Bad Mouthing the Apple

In the beginning was a quince
And a lady named Eve, where was her prince?
When she was in need, Satan got to Eve 
“Did God really say?” was Satan’s foray
Why has the apple’s name been sullied, and bullied
Is the argument valid (in this word salad)?
The confusion of transgender, was put in a blender
(It was not Adam and Steve, or Madam and Eve)
And what came out, was quince-essential doubt
It’s a blender schism, to mix transgenderism
And what fell on Newton’s head, begs the question instead
At the end of the path of math, is the numerical aftermath
Just because the numbers fall into line, doesn’t prove that a theory is right
The numbers can so easily comport, with the globe or flat sort
The gravity of this situation, is we need The Original Consideration
In a flat and free fall spin there is a sense of it all within
Am I bad mouthing the apple with which I grapple?
I have a right to be heard, even if I say “that’s absurd”

(This tug-of-war we tussle with 
Negative, affirmative (and back and forth we go
EI EI O)

On God’s farm he has some terms
EI EI O
And on this farm, we have to learn
EI EI O
Tangents and terms, numbers and words
EI EI O
And the schoolhouse rocks down the path of math
EI EI O
Which theory do we need query
EI EI O
And to me and you (and the Berean gumshoe)
EI EI O
Embrace the task and we must ask, “What did God really say?”
