To the tatterdemalions of the mind
Contradictions cannot be combined
How does one account for abstract entities
When a worldview is based in only what it sees?
Between fallacies and faith the debate unfurls
Atheists and Christians see each other as churls
Questions of mind or of matter and motion
Generalizations swim in a transcendental ocean
Redefining claims accusations arise
But spiritual growth is not veiled in disguise
Stages and standards Jesus said of fruit and tree
Critique falls short where reason should be
Tu Quo Que and ad hominem fallacies wined and dined
The atheist worldview can’t account for the truth we find
Agnostics linger on the threshold of knowing
Come on in atheists to the river that’s flowing
Yet in the end faith stands in both camps
A humorous note for philosophical tramps
For abstraction both sides do lay claims
Rise up to God standards or go down in flames
When political debate turns into an argument
you descend into an ad hominem circumvent,
but just in case you need to know
you’re shooting arrows without a bow.
You paint me as the bad guy
Colored in flaws from head to toe
A priestess of dark magic
Inciting men to wrecking havoc
Though I'm not sure how this could be so
For if I've authored all the chaos
Why can't I redirect the show?
The idea that you're afraid of
Is that the fault falls part to you
You think burying your head
In the Ad Hominem
Can prevent the truth from being true
Though I might have empathized
Once upon a time
With the weakness of your mind
I've no patience left
For the toxicity of egos
Which causes innocents to wilt
You're all godd****d cowards
Who don't have the balls
To own up to your guilt
Our precocious President pronounces,
in patent ad hominem attack,
that those deplorable disagreeables
are notably Neanderthal.
He might be technically correct;
nasty Neanderthals existentially exist
in DNA models of most modern hominid incarnations~
even in the Commander-in-Chief!
And [God] has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth...Acts 17:26 NKJV

screen est vestis

quod autem dictum est, ideas, ut cum te fabulas narrare,
nondum est ipsum suum &
quod est horologium ticking
& circa angulum rectum opus die tommorow

somnus corporis necessitatibus
reliqui corporis necessitatibus

quam inanem animum inside) ---
sed plus interiorem hominem,
una vis impress
ratione cuius
tu creasti ad splendorem
clarissimis quasi stellae in caelo
cuius lucis te acervum images & verborum
clausus sicco sol
accedit quod cum tot horas omnia asserere conatus tuos

sed actum est descriptis & tardus
incipio super asperges digitos keys
dum modo illa memoriae tradiderunt.
