Takes a Village Idiot (liberal art)

All Cretans are Cretans

I don’t talk in syllogisms but I still

claim to be a logical guy—rarely

measure a ratio but nevertheless

call my self rational.  Esteem

relations and relationships but

talk in partial terms. pay somewhat

attention to facts, stats, and data

so as to incorporate into my belief,

homeland security & opinion system

reinforcing  and servicing  my mind-

set and procrustean bed fellow.

TWO KINDS of RIGHTEOUS

Original- right with God, right

with the Universe,  in accord
with Nature’s Principle of Least
Effort ( as opposed  to my  Path
of Least Resistance),  in tune
with the Whole & Holy. 

Secondary:  self- righteous,
judgmental,  condemnatory,
 exclusive,  offensive, defensive,
shame-on-you; my homeland

security securing  securely.. 

I practice the second: self-righting.,

self-balancing,  auto correcting; best

I can; the first  is beyond me  and
though  I  walk on water and eggs
and  speakwith tons of angles, I have
not  love, am clanging   brass—gong
show . The denial and cover up
raises my bozone layer  .
