Cupid a.k.a Amor
is considered armed and dangerous
so shield your heart
against his aphrodisiacal ‘dart.’
Wear a bullet proof vest
to protect your chest!
Cupid is a notorious sharpshooter
who can hit his targets
far and wide
so you can't run and hide.
His semi automatic
makes each shot ecstatic.
Cupid is wanted
for assault with a deedly weapon
and for inciting love
so be on the lookout for a cherub with wings
and know that his match making skills
give even introverts the chills.

It may be fallacious to make a poem about a fallacy
But I wish to talk about a problem in reality
Once upon a Texas morning, a man held in low respects took a gun from his home
He moved quietly in the afternoon shooting all 6 rounds
He took red paint and drew a target that astounds
He claimed I himself a sharpshooter greater than ol’ holm
He held himself a genius in nirvana’s dome
Not knowing of that I would use it on these battlegrounds
It is Arguable
But scientists always do this
Shooting gene differences
Making excuses
Saying you are DNA
Check your fallacious privilege

Recently, I was doing some fallacy research for improving myself with making arguments, after reading this Wikipedia article I realized a large amount of genetic research didn’t seem to match up and decided that I should share my realization about this. Anyway whether this is useful or useless, thanks for reading.
