Reasoned Conclusions

(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 fit their pre-supposed delusion.

Yet, steadfast is truth, we find from our youth,
in solving the age old mysteries;
by following the evidence through reasoned inquest
of science, and accurate histories.

True science has shown aging to be known
affected by the rays of the sun.
Bible history attests longevity was best
Before Noah's Ark made its run.

We see man's age decline right in line
with the canopy deluge postulation.
Now, we can't see how fitting this must be
from the onset of creation.

The Bible also lists, a pre-flood morning mist
rising to water the earth each day..
Would this not lead to the conclusion indeed
of a water vapor canopy in play?

Then, the canopy fell as rain, quite well,
all the habitable land to cover:
"the deep" broke up making the oceans a cup;
can we logically conclude any other?

Urchins of the sea have been found to be
upon the highest of mountains.
Wouldn't this tend to show proof of a flood flow,
and its ebb into the fountains?

Don't ever pre-suppose a rose, a rose,
if it looks some what a carnation.
If you do, I must firmly assure you,
You will earn reason's indignation.

Reason can surely be a help for you and me,
if not corrupted by pre-supposition.
Think it all through, ignoring the Bible won't do
You'll be found in an untenable condition.

Well Reasoned Questions About Nine Eleven

During death by box cutter
      Does it sting like a shaving accident
      Can you clot the bleeding
      With a square of toilet paper?
 
      When the very tip
      Kissed the building
      Was there a flash of
      Regret inside the cockpit?
 
      During vaporization
      I've heard you feel nothing
      Or do you burst into oblivion
      With every cell retching?
 
      Where does your mind wander
      when you're burning alive
      Do you recall a family cookout
      On the fourth of July?
 
      Is smoke inhalation
      A trippy way to go
      Does the burning chemistry
      Give you psychedelic visions?
 
      When you are
      Actively plunging
      For several
      Seconds
      Or more
      Do you recall your first love
      Or occupy the time by recounting
      One Hundred and Ten Stories
      Backwards?
 
      When your support system fails
      Beneath your breakneck stride
      Do you feel betrayed
      Is that a grudge worth keeping?
 
      When extruded through
      Rock hard solids
      Do your dream about
      The Blues Brothers Movie?
 
      When you spend your last days
      Coughing chunks of raw lung
      Are you filled with regret
      For not getting there quicker?
 
      Why won't you answer
      My well reasoned questions
      Are you a willing participant in the
      Conspiracy of Silence?
 
      You Dead are so Indifferent.

As They All Reasoned With Time...

SOME
Through the eye-of-eye
Have seen
Then, soon forget
Where they have been…

SOME
Pride their selves
For where they’ve been-
While others fear
Who’ve never stepped their unmarked-scene

All- reluctant
To time, all in its endless-chime
But, who will ever convince TIME?

Flamboyances color by number with pen
Utensils swirl-shade as lead subjects decide
Outsparkle in arc-flash or well to subside
Resharpened perceptions concluding attend

Straight forwardly semblance curves back trope betide
Choice obvious reasons sound minded lines time
Due melioration emended pends then
Omega friends alpha preferences blend
Explosively visions seam clown shoes provide

Premium Member Reasoned News, Headlined Bruise

It is no longer headline news,

If anything scientific happens
it happens for a rational reason

If anything violent doesn't happen,
does it not happen
for an irrational unreasoned
compassionate nonresponse?

It is no longer byline news,
toxic anthro-aggressive at-most-spheres,
dark forbidding climes,
cold winter
evil viral feelings,
relentlessly depressing 
grey-clouded
chaotic 
irrational 
random thoughts

Complicate competing patriarchal 
privileged supremacy 
win/lose systemic media events,
stories monotheistically vengeful
OldTestament fundamentalist

Either my religious way
or you get to play
work
suffer the Prodigal Son/Daughter
loser highway

Monoculturing news
neglecting to mention white anthro-privileged 
Caste cast with strictly partisan 
polarizing eco-political rightwing supremacy concerns

And fascinations with capitalism happens
when compassionate democratic health
unrealistically
irrationally doesn't happen
while relentlessly furthering
white dogmatically "patriotic"
straight male dominance

Is not exactly headline news
but more the RightWing monocultural
Thing To Reactively Do
to find HolyBible scripture
to fundamentally cut
and evangelically paste
for ego-salvaging
narcissistic denial of democratic rationality
divine support

Furthering each individual ego-identity's
selfie bootstrap LeftCognitive
culturally superior to RightEmotive
win/lose religiously partisan 
straight white capitalism
overwhelming win/win 
systemic multicultural 
democratically cooperative 
co-arising compassion.

Premium Member Reasoned Studied Empirical

I came to faith at forty-eight,
a mid-life crisis within my mind,
step-by-step a staircase I climbed,
'til I keft my old life behind;
Off the fence I slithered down,
upon my brow,doubt bears no frown,
each question answered,verified,
no blind faith this,with no place to hide;
Reasoned,studied and empirical
a life-style relevant and optical,
by revelation,face to face,
I stand here still,saved by grace.

The proof of election,is mine
In Christ too,it can be thine.
