Ambiguity

There is no immunity

There is no immunity

From making mistakes

We are fallible and erroneous

From the risks that we take

If you believe in the Eden story

Aquinas called it “the original sin”

Outside of the garden

Without the Lord‘s grace; we alone cannot win

One can argue

That hell is the absence of God

But in the eyes of the atheist

They would denounce this as fraud

Jean Paul Sartre said

“We are thrown into the world“ because man is “condemned to be free”

“Responsible for everything”

An existential nativity

Because we are human

We have limited reasoning ability

The quintessential human trait

The universal ambiguity

My book the indictment of human reason

Coming to Amazon near you

The historic problem of epistemology and logic

We are abound in perpetuity

The great pyramid of Giza

Don’t believe everything you’re told

The new evidence reveals

 The lies that we hold

SARDT

Synthetic-Aperture-Radar-Doppler-Tomography

Shows massive structures below the surface of the great pyramid

Extending 648 m below the topography

Maybe we need a Renaissance of etiquette 

~ DC ~ Leave a comment

You should not need a preacher or a politician

To tell you when you are wrong

You must decide for yourself

The appeal to authority will take too long

It is difficult to live in ambiguity

“The heart of the fool is in his tongue; the tongue of the prudent is in his heart”

When one takes account

One does their part

Maybe we need a Renaissance of etiquette

To reprise the social contract

A moral code of conduct

Reinforced by its impact

The true measurement of wealth

Is not a physical possession

It rather dwells in our wisdom

A statement in biblical confession

Progressives have infiltrated our educational institutions

Teaching to hate America

Essentially a progressive activism

God help us in this political hysteria

The signs of educational indoctrination is evident

Turning point and Charlie Kirk attest

Just listen to the parents of these children

They will often profess

This emotional embargo 

~ DC ~ Leave a comment

Just because you can resist the devil

Doesn’t mean you should hang out with him

Take this as a truth

Do not take it on a whim 

It’s easier to avoid temptation

Then it is to resist it

If you don’t want temptation to follow you

Then don’t act like you are interested and just sit 

Because of our loyalty

Because of our doubt

Because of our skepticism

All we can do in this box is burst out 

Our faith will be tested

The appearance of the hardest path to take is not always as clear

The motivation to overcome

May give us a better compass to steer

You can’t purge yourself of feeling

But you can certainly numb

Over time you become bitter and resent

Just what then will we become?

This emotional embargo

We place on others, lovers, and our friends

Just how will we survive?

Just how will our relationships end?

We back ourselves into a corner

There is only one way to move

We must go forward again

Because only our time will prove

it is not as bad as we imagined

We have trapped ourselves in an emotional  cage

We’re spinning our wheels round and round

we must muster the courage for os to wage

I don’t know what the future holds

~ DC ~ Leave a comment

I don’t know what the future holds

I leave it in Gods hands

The people I meet and care about

I pray they are in his plans

I pray that I may flourish

As an instrument of the good

I pray for my family and loved ones

As I hope this is understood

I live freely, I love deeply

I want to empower and give no harm

I offer kindness and devotion

Some will say that this is my charm

I learn looking backwards

But I must always focus on today

I am thankful for my blessings

And this is what I say…

If you have called me darling

I know you know who you are

If this poem finds you

I thank my lucky star

The fact is I know that you like me

And you know that I like you

I’ve already seen into your heart

If only we can begin anew

I know you have reservations

You’ve told me this as well

Please know I am here if you want me

Also know I realize this will be a hard sell

I do not give up that easily

I can be as stubborn as you

Somehow the kindred spirits within us

May come to share this view

It’s not quite clear

~ DC ~ Leave a comment

Sometimes we must tolerate

The ill-mannered, the ignorant, and the fool

Fortuitously or by practice

Beware the many that do not know the golden rule

The thing about tolerance

When it deals with our pain

We will tend to suffer

Whilst we still often complain

Is it a maladaptive behavior?

Or are we just austere?

With the folly of our being

It’s not quite clear

No Meaningful Relationship that is True

~ DC ~ Leave a comment

You tell me to be more positive

But if you really listen to what I say

Even with my pain and suffering

My outlook is still pretty good at the end of the day

I know we are not close

A chasm of ambivalence I cannot hide

There is a distance between us

Because of this I cannot confide

It’s hard to open up

If you are not understood

And so I isolate

I did the best I could

The issue is not about loving

It’s more about the failure to connect

If you can’t care for yourself

Why should I expect you to protect?

Our family has not dealt with Alzheimer’s

But I can sympathize with those who do

This is what is most heartfelt

No meaningful relationship that is true

Sedition from Bondage

~ DC ~ Leave a comment

The key of captivity

Lies in the ability of the mind

Break the cycle of learned helplessness

Your freedom you will find

The fundamentals of illusion

Breed attachment and pain

When trapped in the problem

The solution we search for is in vain

Become the escape artist

Study the trap you are in

Visualize the possibilities

Become the Houdini and begin

The levels and degrees of servitude

We levy or subjugate

We mold our reality

Much of what we create

What is the sound of one hand clapping?

Teacher enticing student to see

Constructs in our minds

Can also be just folly

The statement below is false

The statement above is true

A liars paradox

Another Waterloo

The duck or the rabbit?

Wittgenstein would ask

Which will give way?

Which one will last?

The Zen koan, the Greek paradox, and Wittgenstein

All demonstrate a vantage point to see

Problems of human reasoning

All contingent on how we will be

Confabulation

~ DC ~ Leave a comment

I wanted to think clearly

A time I was less confused

Some moments I see vividly

Whereas others I have excused

The trouble with my memory

I’m not sure if I have the right take

What were the predisposed factors?

What are the presumptions we make?

Fill in parts of what we know now

File away under a current change of view

How will I ever really know?

There is no one else to interview

Is it really worth the effort?

Will my reality be forever changed?

Will I become more self-aware?

Or will I always be estranged?

I try not to confabulate

I try to sift out erroneous thought

This is important for me

I try hard not to be lost

The ambivalence of affection

~ DC ~ 1 Comment

If you act with reason

Generous acts can never be misplaced

Love is never wasted

Love cannot be debased

The failure of recognition

If only one in seventy-seven see

A change in the culture

A change in the apogee

A resource of human potential

Escaping many only actualized by the few

Love will permeate conflict

Those who love know this is true

Love has no expectation

That many fail to comprehend

Their understanding is divided

They fail to apprehend

The world needs practitioners

The broken-hearted on the mend

The ambivalence of affection

Consumes only those who pretend

So Here I Am Waiting

~ DC ~ Leave a comment

I’m trying to find my way in this world

I follow the path to the Sagittarius it leads

A heart that is bound

One that is willing to proceed

I value our friendship

And this I will make clear

I will protect your heart

I trust you know I am sincere

I offer my respect

That you truly deserve

I will bring out and nurture

Feelings you have that you reserve

Explore with me

How you really feel

So here I am waiting

Making my appeal
