a C of E rector in his day
Determined to de-saxonise
clothed his verse in dialectic disguise...

Academic Immune Deficiency,
the intellect under attack

Those powered to know, ivory towers enthroned,
dialectic—its meaning hijacked

Any proof for God is 
oxymoronic

God needs no testament,
only man

Not to be indicted,
 not to be confirmed 

Beyond all dialectic
—God is

Inside me, an angel
         almost pure,
         inside me one
         almost mild demon ...

         a demon of protest ...

DIALECTIC POMPOSITY   and other name calling
    by V. Anderson-Throop

Dialectic Pomposity
Still chases me---
Elitist snob---
What is the precise
termonology
For an individual
Erudite
With droll wit
Who encounters
Ecstasy
With the
Conspicuous consumption
Of books?...

Breaking through the dialectic,
good and bad behind

Beyond to where the sky breaks clean,
and time does not apply

Escaping from the either/or,
my mind now free at last

Lost in the perpetual moment
—rules not hard or fast

(Villanova Pennsylvania: February, 2017)...

Beyond all critical thinking,
above what’s right or wrong

There’s a different understanding,
where words turn into song

With a deeper sense of freedom,
light shines upon itself

All reasoned dialectic,
left abandoned, lost—unfelt

(Rosemont Pennsylvania: June, 2019)...

The finer you draw your measurements,
the further away you fall

Each number squared and time compared,
deafens out the call

Your techno-dialectic,
data piled upon itself

A trash heap at the deadest end
—where folly stacks unfelt

(Haverford Pennsylvania: July, 2019)...

Breaking through the dialectic,
   good and evil behind

Beyond to where the sky breaks clean,
  and time does not apply

Escaping from the either/or,
  my mind now free at last

Lost in the perpetual moment,
 —rules not hard nor fast

(Villanova Pennsylvania: February, 2017)...

Thought is meant to provide escape
  from what causes it to be

The soul released in contradiction
  its spirit running free

All questions posed and answers sought
  now kindling burned to ash

The dialectic self destroyed
  —with truth revealed at last

(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2019)...

Until you escape your own cognition,
  you’re a prisoner of your mind

Your spirit waiting to lift you free,
  dialectic far behind

Until you can leave all reasoning trapped,
  and let your thoughts go free

You’ll never be able to self implode
  —as you were meant to be

(Villanova Pennsylvania: June, 2019)...

MY DIALECTIC DEVOTION- -

By the grave I saw the services
My mind always strays through the storms
I am not alone
My God, My  Lord will not have heard of it
Agape - agape – agape!
My heart craves you, God
Take thy doxology from out my heart
Give me true essence of your start
That dialectic devotion - that dialectic devotion

THE INTERGALACTIC SWEET SCENT OF YOU---

the sweet scent of you
aroma so delicate 
pure and natural

honey suckle rose
ever so viral and pure
digitally mastered

honed in on virtue
seasoned in values flowing
pure and natural

dialectic plant
fragrant flower of solar epics
grant me sun-sweet kiss

pure and natural
chance flower of galactic
the sweet scent of you

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 dialectic
As Plato was taught
Because a life without philosophy
Is a life without thought....

The ego of the atheist,
himself the standard bearer
Where power of a mortal mind,
inflates beyond repair

His facts he weds intensely,
dimension fencing in
What’s not explained, he must profane,
all emptiness within

Whose formulas and strictures,
his Rosary to proclaim
What can’t be solved, new facts resolve,
dismissive in his shame

The ending predetermined,
his choices lock the door
Alone, his dialectic dies
—naked to implore

(The First Book Of Prayers: January, 2022)...
