Best Conclusions Poems

(Argument for the Biblical Account of Creation.)
I don't see why some people try,
without reason, to reach a conclusion.
They must haveconceived an end to be achieved,
through pre-supposition already chosen.

They accentuate the positive, ignore the negative,
and, apparently, find comfort in illusion;
to prove a connection they've already reckoned
will...

Jumping to Conclusions
(my reponse to the reporting of the latest Synagogue attack in Poway, CA)
By Franklin Price
4/28/2019

Jumping to conclusions
Is the mantra of the day
And hating one another
Is the dark that leads the way

Journalism takes advantage
Of the biases we feel
To control our ways of thinking
So we...

Why is that old man sitting there whittling,

Making nothing from a scrap piece of wood,

Must be brain numbing, truly belittling,

Should do something useful, I think he should,

Sitting on a barrel with knife and stick,

Can't make anything useful, wasting time,

Watching really getting on my wick,

Alright whittling...

And Logical 2020 ReIntroductions

The politicization of health care
stems from capital's socialization of value,
from roots valuing wealth-through-extraction
rather than health-through-inclusion.

What must become win/win 
WholeEarth patriotic strategies
are now sadly reduced to win/lose nationalistic 
straight white male
left-brain dominant
stingy propaganda
spilled out in abstract bits 
and theoretical pieces.

The economic dominance
and distance
between...

No Conclusions, THE PROCESS OF PAINTING ***

Not often between lines.
Crossing lanes.  Consuming spaces.
 Ordering gray shadows
Like shaded fog or misty traces —
In a measure of displaced displays
Of reality’s clarity 
In impressions or abstractions,
To emphasize the building theme — with
The colors smudged or  stippled...

Says the English proverb:
"Look before you leap."
Uttered by Lords a'leaping,
Or maybe Little Bo Peep?

Ah, leaping is a hazard sport
oft performed for thrill.
Leaping is the easy part
It's the landing which can kill.

I leap and leap and leap again,
I do it without thought.
I often leap on limber...

Wagging conclusions with a deck that is fixed;
The dealer’s eyes shaded hiding those tricks;
Refreshing a thirst from the tears that are cried
Have you jumped on a wagon without asking why?
      Most reasons concluded by the click of a mouse.

Since space can expand
faster than light’s speed,
galaxies beyond
must be infinite. . . 
I am overwhelmed.

We and Big Bang
are just small beans
in the whole scheme
of everything!

Alpha and
Omega. . . 
what are they?

No one
but God. . . 

knows.

For Rick Parise's  Contest:

Isn't life funny?
  You spend hours and hours writing and revising
  re-revising and rewriting
  and then starting almost from scratch again
  making sure each line sounds right
  each and every word fits,
  does what it's supposed to do,
 ...

All the figures and indices,
Just like algebra,
Solved with ease.


Like putting a capital,
At the start of each sentence.
It almost seems sagittal,
There is no repentance.


The square, and rectangle,
Have similarities, 
Triangles in a mangle,
circles capabilities…


Acids and Alkalis,
Confused hypothesis.
All experiments,
Carefully analysed.
Just an apophasis.


Tap or street,
Graceful Ballet.
In time to the...

Thoughts, worry, jealousy… It's all an illusion,
A tendency to get angry and jumped to conclusions.
There is no secrecy with the few I love and me,
If any it's what you may hide, why can't you see?
You walk around so quiet and reserved,
What's going through your mind?...

No Conclusions***

Can’t figure things out?
Never between 
    the lines.
Outside the lanes, 
Staying spaced 
In gray shadows
Or mist or fog…
Outlying and altering.
Possibly close,or
Beyond
Leaving,
 Below or high.
Yet, wearing
    pseudonyms,
Always being    
Lost, then
Re-addressed.
Oscillating.
But, remaining
Persistently

I'd been caught up in the middle, of one of those awful days,
When nothing seems to go right, with glitches and delays.

I was having a rough day at work, and the boss was now irate;
And all I could think about, was sweet tropical island escape!

When...

My friend
Sent me a message
And asked me
To take a look at it!
 
I tore open
The envelope,
Emptied the content,
Spread it on my table

Then, I called my friend
And, yelled at him
‘That Was a blank paper
You sent me…”
 
If only I had turned 
The page over,
I would have...

Haughty Tiger was blatantly vain
She presumed that poor Ass had no brain
Ass stayed cool when hunters came
And pretended to be lame
But Miss Knowall was bound to a chain.
