The problem of the disenfranchised
They feel entitled and hold that over our head
No longer respecting the services given
Just think what goes unsaid

The problem of the Disenfranchised
Logic
The Argument is Hollow
The Argument is hollow
Fallacious reasoning at its best
Very simple to deconstruct
If you know how to put it to test
Each point that is asserted
Make logically conflated assumptions
Attempting to show hypocrisy
But sounds more like a grade school boy’s logic malfunction
Case in point
To say “my body, my choice” is completely absurd
Have you considered when life begins?
And if you have, when does the child have a word?
When adults argue like children
Using feeling as a way to attack
Better off to stay in your echo chamber
If you don’t want the negative feedback
Having a valid argument
Must be determined by moral common sense
And understanding the issue raised
From each side of the fence

The Failures of our Reasoning
Can we pass the purity test?
If we castigate?
Do we look at ourselves?
Enough to investigate?
If we do not improve our own moral fails
Why do we think our complaints will tip societal scales?
There is a war waged against our culture
The weak minded become the casualties
Those who cannot think for themselves
Are the first to submit to tyranny
The failures of our own reasoning
Are the first measure of the merciless and cruel
Those with intellect and empathy
Are the ones who are merciful
The traditional purpose of education
Relied heavily on the teachings of moral character
The progressive path we are now on
A dystopian youth will be the inheritor

How many pass the litmus?
Joel was rebuked in his echo chamber
Some ideas should have push back
An argument tested and tempered in debate
May shed more light under attack
It is up to the person
To learn from the account
The argument must follow the facts
This axiom is tantamount
To excise a moral tax
If you revel in the camp
The mob mentality of majority rule
Falling into an intellectual cesspool
How many of us can face the mirror?
How many of us self-reflect?
How many pass the litmus?
How many just deflect?

Does not the braggart remain the fool?
You can build an intellect
Upon which you shall discern
The merit of a liberal education
Applied to that of which you shall learn
When you place yourself above others
Citing knowledge and facts you claim you know
Setting yourself up as authority
Isn’t it sad that this is what the braggart must show
Social media as an echo chamber
Test the water with politicized debate
But if you never look at critical evidence
You will only achieve a stalemate
What is morally reprehensible
Using ad hominem to attack
Belittling any opposition
Wrongly deposing any rendering of fact
When moral turpitude is not taken into account
Your only attempt is to try and school
You miss the forest for the trees
Does not the braggart remain the fool?

The Travesty of a Generation
So you think you know about the world
Espousing something you read from a book
Something that a liberal arts professor said
But did you research it yourself and take a good look?
So if you’re going to make an argument
You better learn how to make your case
Only the rules of logic
Is what you must embrace
Do not trust the sophist
Nor the emotionally manipulated mind
Not the religious scientism cult
These are all of an ignorant kind
I have pity for the indoctrinated youth
I have contempt for federalized education
A travesty of an ignorant populace
The travesty of a generation

The Method of the Con
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

My Soul is not for Sale
My faith has been tested
My eyes have received confirmation
My soul is not for sale
My truth is my salvation
I take on my obstacles
I take them as they come
I learn from my mistakes
I modify my thinking to correctly plumb
Why do I fail?
Why is the question to ask
Why do I repeat?
Why is put to task
Clarify what is rubbish
Clarify the path I am on
Clarify what is good
Clarify what is wrong
Verify what is working
Simplify erroneous measures
Verify what is most important
Rectify misleading pleasures

WikiPsalm #Thirteen
There are times when we wake
From a trance like sleep
Giving in to an inner voice
Making promises we can’t keep
It is precisely in this time
We should vindicate our aspiration
Acknowledging a conflict building
Within this mindful vexation
Become clear about what is important
Clarify this in your deeds
Do not let unworthy influence
Give council that often misleads

Tender my Frustration
Tender my frustration
Only the law abiding will pay
A state can never impose any law
That the criminal will ever obey
Tender my frustration
The working man’s plea
There is no incentive to work
When you collect off the taxpayer’s assist
Wait, what else can I take as a perk
Tender my frustration
What’s mine is mine
What’s yours is yours
Learn to make it on your own
But you’ve gotta do your chores
Tender my frustration
Words are words
Often the politically correct
Use a narrative to bend logic
Only to misdirect
Tender my frustration
I know I’m not alone
Only by working together
Cutting through all of the hormone
Tender my frustration
We must find a way
Else we will parish
Under the boot in the face or the bullets that ricochet
