I like that you inspire me
A breath of fresh air- the oxygen for my soul to feed
I thrive when your influence
Allows my heart to again be freed
Some people irradiate an energy
A silent nurturing for a receptive soul indeed
Allow me to show this open heart
One you can easily read
We all need inspiration
A positive agency for a planted seed
And so I pay homage to my muse
One that helps me to proceed

The road to hell
Is often paved with good intent
Our miscalculations and prejudice
Weighs in on our consent
We say our belief
Is divinely inspired
Whether divinity or dogma
We continue with ways to conspire
To whomever we will give our praise
Our actions are mortally bound
Herein lies our salvation
As the eternal will never make a sound
We have perfecting philosophies for a reason
We are flawed and can only aspire to be divine
Yet our arrogance and our natures
Often distort what we think is benign

The Socratic method is under attack
We are less likely to debate
A flawed group think identity
That only wants to berate
When you emotionalize an argument
You diminish your ability to reason
The sophistry begins
As it is now open season
The Platonic dialogue Georgias
Philosophy is an art
Not the mere rhetoric
That is shown to fall apart
Today’s world is rapidly increasing
With the intellectually impoverished youth
An educational system collapsing
Under our failure to teach what is truth?
Debate should never be stifled
Our liberty to engage the critic must go on
Only the merit of logic
Will illuminate the method of the con

I’ve searched all of my life
To understand and rise above my pain
Studied Psychology and Philosophy
Seems like this pursuit is a never-ending campaign
I’ve made some progress though
I pray not to give up my hope
Some questions will never be answered
So I search for the best way to cope
A thinking persons disposition
May often find the vexation of their emotion
Difficult to separate from
The hurt which we attach to our devotion
The rational and the emotional
Are two very different creatures
Measures must be taken
So that either don’t become our keepers
To find a path
It is best to head down the middle
Much like the Buddha suggests
For us to solve this riddle

We need to be challenged
Fortification through experience and in time
Will forge and shape our behaviors
A living furnace for a tempered mind
We the beings of habit
Must deploy a check and balance to remain free
The charioteer of our ego
Must use reason to introspect and oversee
We are developing creatures
With many flaws and deceptive artifice
We created the arguments for and against ourselves
We were the ones who started all of this
We have so much potential
Yet we waste our effort founded on faulty belief
Never do we benefit from leaning new ways
We are stuck perpetually recycling this antiquated motif

The moment before
You drift off to sleep
A memory comes to you
One that is buried deep
Memories often populate
And integrate with your dreams
Leaving with you a communiqué
To unravel the schemes
The mind has a way
To process the unrest
Perpetuating those feelings
You may have suppressed
A subconscious attempt
To resolve any dissonance
A conscious mindfulness
The conscription of imminence
Be you of conscious mind
Be you one to search your soul
I present to you
Our cognitive tool for quality control
