Why I Am Not Bertrand Russell, Thank God! ~ Thursday, March 13, 2025

Why I am not Bertrand Russell, thank God!
however ironic this bald faced lie
yolk as satire lacks comedic value

I, too. am not a Christian, spare the rod

as I grew up Roman Catholic, child
maybe that does not make sense, if I die

no one spoiled me with ignorance askew
old artificer, I am not certain
to act the dissembler, lets me run wild

Burning Rome with Nero on violin
ecclesiastic atheist connects
relations, associations, the din
traveling on a sphere, spatial aspects
remind travelers, raise the red curtain
arguments most sensible, pointless still
necessary in a world without sense
defend against future neglect and harm

Responsible hermeneutics, a pill
until Alice decides to eat, a choice
sudden enlightenment, the world feels dense
soporific, to sleep with no alarm
ephemeral and evanescent, speak
lightly in Ancient Greek and Latin, voice
liberal insights, though no anarchist

tortures cats for fun, the sun, coolfireblue
honors the risk to seek the truth, the twist
asserts establishment, how to unglue
needless power and wealth, strength feeds the weak
kill the Chinese aphrodisiac snail

Given how thrownness overcomes bad faith
objects in mirror, closer than a wraith
demonstrate "not my president" and fail
