Best Rationalist Poems

Absurdity, chaos, 
strife:
The poet chooses 
virtuous reality.

Sisyphus, a 
titanic wave of metamorphosis, waiting, salted nausea:
The thinker roughed by sand 
a solitary tree in a barren desert 
defies absurdity

by seeking meaning in the absurd.

Authenticity, 
vision, conformity, religion:
The rebel a roaring 
wildfire igniting change like:

Wet nights, warm days are what we want in the summer noosphere.
Man's mind one with weather.
If this is true, life is good, or will be good.
Can I be encouraged that my sons will find mystery on the planet
as I did?

How sweet the slow spring! May...

The rationalist must reduce, 
It's in their nature. 
Pragmatic logic insists, 
On conformity of thought, 
Anomalies will not be tolerated, 
Measurable verifiable data, 
Equations balanced, 
Algorithms written, 
Formulas deduced, 
Universal laws obeyed, 

But shadows still linger, 
The face behind the face, 
Unconscious chaos, 
Irrational processes,...

THE PLURALISTS : Empedocles & Anaxagoras

That single primary substance the ‘arche’ of
the Ionian philosophers ,
Was challenged by Emphedocles (b.495BC)
and Anaxagoras(b.500BC) !
Emphedocles spoke of four qualitative elements
of Nature ;
As Earth , Air , Fire and Water !
And also of two mythical beings - love and hate...

I like his confidence, that working the problem
will certainly result in better outcomes than guessing.
A rationalist who does not depend on a higher power
to direct his decisions, but who may concede,
observe, realize and accept that he lacks the data
or the skills or tools to interpret...

The stubborn brain, never listens to what I say,
worse yet; he doesn’t want to say a word,
what drove him into this sullen mood? 
It really doesn’t matter however, 
if he is in a good or bad mood because I have a heart  
which is...

Quiet Soul

1963
Her skin is that of alabaster. Wide circles of red rouge pronounced her thin lips and each cheek.
She is soulfully unique.
Her hair of dried stalk was approving to her eyes of vacuous emeralds.
She traveled the two blocks from her home to a destiny where...

Dismissing evil and good
Upright and smiling he stood;
Materialistically modern in mood
Filled full with rationalist food;
Denying inherent sin
Liberally enlighten within.

Dismissing evil and good
Puffed-up self approving he stood
Pursuing illusory appeal
With academic assumptions so unreal;
Denying inherent sin
So liberally enlightened within.

Dismissing evil and good
All-seeing,all-knowing he...

his last gasp was quite lengthy
trying to go out with a bang as usual
a rationalist manifesto covering his face
accompanied by a cotton field work song
his grip went slack under the torrent of images
fortunes have been lost in that snapshot parlor
shook the money from the pockets
of...

"Energy fields extend to infinity.
Consequently they are open--
not a little bit open,
not sometimes open,
but continuously open.
The long-established view of the universe as an entropic,
closed system is rapidly losing ground.
Proposals that living systems were open systems
led Von Bertalanffy to postulate
that living systems manifested negative entropy.
Evidence has...

To produce a logic table
Clearly in your mind
Other possible worlds
The purpose of your find.

It's not empirical truth we seek
Only a Gedanken experiment
Knowledge that we cannot show
Proof that makes us sentient.

The greatest happiness or the moral right
Kant verses Mill
Empiricist or Rationalist
An argument of will.

So choose your...
