Michael Ramel The Primordial Poet Poet Couplet

Do What Thou Wilt (Is The Whole of the Law)

“Do what thou wilt is the whole of the law”
But with that mantra there is one flaw
The one flaw is it’s not universal
Because someone could believe just it’s reversal
“Don’t do what thou wilt” I could do instead
From what was originally said
Presupposing atheism to prove Christianity
Seems a bit like insanity
But let’s for a moment surmise
An absurdity one can theorize
(But can’t prove it to the impossibility of
 the contrary suppositional view from above)
If I am assuming atheism
You’ll need to provide more than a schism
You say I am unwittingly assuming naturalism
To prove my supernaturalism
It seems a bit odd to conduct in that way
But I am open to hearing how it will play
Our brains are all led to the same conventions
And we reason by man’s inventions
But that doesn’t tell us about abstractions
It dismisses all our nuanced interactions
It ignores our foibles and assumes omniscience
And ignores the chasm of quite a distance
But who are you to say a Christian is arrogant
To claim natural omniscience seems flagrant
Christians out of love are witnessing for Christ
So your battle is with God, and He’s closing the vice
A metaphorical vice crowding your minds
So don’t ignore the Spirit as He gently reminds
Numbers are not physical, numerals are
And so, the naturalist can only go so far
He can’t touch the abstract weight
And like Plato seeks a myth to commiserate 
Commiserate for a worldview
That can never grow up or grow into
Or compete with the abstract proof
That using it is assuming it to turn and spoof
And says the atheist, “You are making this harder than needs be”
It is to admit you don’t have an answer to questions, too easy
“How do you account for counting?” As Van Til would say
Numbers aren't physical, and you can’t make them out of clay
You have to assume the Christian worldview, you see
To make sense of things like laws of morality
But then want to balk and chastise the contrariness
Who is the one living in this land of the nefarious?
So here’s an olive branch, this extended advice
Accept the free gift of God in Christ
It’s the only way you can break free from sins bondage
This view that sets you free from holding yourself hostage
So, listen as the parchment is unrolled
Read all that the writers have scrolled
And watch as the prisoners are paroled 
And finally listen to the people as God is extolled
