Fallacy Poems

The Great American Fallacy

Something caught between the eyes of fellowship and the riddle of thought makes any setting unforeseeable. Yet, within the mannerisms of those declawed by the very societies they themselves conceived armed only with a utility belt of miraculous misconceptions springs forth exponential, autonomous growth, promised by the ancestors of preconceived notions.

Most often, the spirits of

Fortunate Failures of Fallacy and Regret

Fortunate failure of fallacy and regret
Contortionist cartoonist illustrating what id like to forget
Proportions of misfortune that I have to measure then reject
Insubordinate illusions of what the deluded ones project

Brandishing bravery as a tool to confront apathy
Vanishing complacency as a fool faces his own pathology
Diminishing returns on an outstretched Hand for mediocracy
Banishing a word in fear

Premium MemberThe Jewish Fallacy

I am smart
And God told me this is how it is
(My smartness enabling me to recognize God)
And so what I say
(Being what God told me)
Then is correct and true
And, perhaps most importantly, unique,
(Because God told me).
And the fact He told my whole tribe at once
(Through the intermediary Moses)
Makes it proven to be true
(Even though there

Fallacy

Politicians are true to their word 
Something that's very seldom heard 
I often wonder why 
Is it pie in the sky 
Maybe my thinking is blurred.

Pathetic Fallacy


It is fallacious to pretend 
we contrive to “become ourselves” 
when there’s no one to observe us.

Mere mice with conceits of grandeur 
prowling proud like cats in the night -
Hubris holds high its hoary head. 

We are ever just whom we are,
we can’t be more and can’t be less
until finally we are not.

...

Premium MemberA Fallacy of Notion

Smack the Naysayer upside the head
far fewer would have been harmed
had citizens not been disarmed -- 

Forefathers wise for Second Amendment
which Naysayers habitually make defendant

a necessary tool 
to keep safe even the fool
preventing complete social upheaval
while man, his soul, remains harbinger
of evil!

Fallacy

Fallacy
They planted a seed and call it the truth
They Captivate the world and 
Ask us for rent 
If I have to be honest
Am paying my dues 
In a world they told me is free and fair
What more do they need from the innocent
The days were blue but tomorrow is red 
The unknown remain the fruits

Sludge Behind the Dishwasher

As the weather chooses its flavour for the hour,
Stubble-ended wood shaves itself on the layers of unseen ground.
Synthetic puke seeps through pores seeking to devour
Every tiny, curled hair floating in the murk around and around.

Pool party skies reside a millimeter higher than the tallest fingertip:
Leftovers infect this mass of last meals passed on.
A spindle of

The Hospital Fallacy

Why would they toss me in with all these crazy people?

Where we can have shared delusions. 

Of time travel…

Insanity can always be expanded on. 

Especially here. 

As we forget our families, we form togetherness. 

So that soon, their stories become my past. 

So that soon, the collective hopelessness becomes my path.

Premium MemberThe Fallacy of Our Beliefs

The road taken is not as straight and,
Narrow as we think but a,
Huge mountain that we must climb.
As in life we have many journeys,
That we must take.
The sun brings hope in the future,
Showing us the way.
The moon holds my dreams and,
Fantasies within my soul,
Showing me what is within reach.
The sun and moon inspire our inner,
Beliefs

Death - a Fallacy

"As a person sheds worn-out garments and wears new ones, likewise, at the time of death, the soul casts off its worn-out body and enters a new one" - Bhagvad Gita 2.22

~*~
Death 
is a 
misnomer
Autumn leaves fall
only to be born 
again when spring arrives
Body dies but eternal 
soul is reborn in new body
If not reborn,

Premium MemberThe Fallacy of My Love Story

All I want is for you to take me away,
I just want my love story.
I want you to sweep me off my feet.
To stop people talking about me,
To stop people judging me.
To tell me I'm your love,
I'm the one you reach for late at nite.
I look deeply into your eyes,
All I see is the black,
