If you believe it’s true
You’ll act accordingly
And you’ll never escape,
No, never; listen to me –
I’ve seen the way we stab ourselves
in the back
through the front
I’ve felt a self-placed dagger in the spine
I’ve felt the wounds healing with time
And then break open anew
And I’m telling you
To listen to the truth
And believe what calms,
loves,
heals,
lifts.

Circular Cause & Consequence*
Go on and Beg the Question, Straw Man
I’ll whack yo hay-head clean off!
Don’t pull those Ad Hominem horsefeathers on me
No Post Hoc hokum from you, sir
I know you been Cherry Picking my tree,
Poisoning My Well
Call myself the Texas Sharpshooter—
No Masked Man logic will outfox me.
If-By-Whiskey you put yo sorry-straw-self back together
Don’t come round here on that Bandwagon
Ridin’ circles on yo Well Traveled Road
10 Wrongs won’t make it Right
So don’t Appeal Tradition—
Yo head’s been there before
And I’ll Affirm it Disjunct
like yesterday.
