Fuzzy Logic

Woolen conformity
suffocates, garroting
all yearning to benefit
with hands dutiful in aid
for all souls bound by mesh.

Religious principles
envelop to usurp logic
while charging indulgence
against the sin of living in a
system determined to terminate.

Liars stammer on to
hypnotize the cameras
with confidence of capers
plotted in algorithms murky
for Malthusian agendas ancient.

They prey to ensure
ills suffer for conquest
since sigils of means rule
over tangible matter noble
according to edicts of fitness.

When refusing being
and magnificent ideals,
torches become snuffed
by delusions of sympathy
until gnarled by destruction.

Our light focuses up
through layers of dust
without material demand
to ensure the tunnel guards
ethereal generosity untainted.

The title drew me in, John, and the poem is truly filled with examples of the "fuzzy logic" that fills our lives. Great work! Love, Carolyn
