On Belief, And Fact


My Belief System

My belief system
        is based on
   an experience
That I had, many
Years ago, while
At university, of
A truism;
   that truism being
   the feeling - 
                  call it 
The insight - that
‘The universe has Purpose
And that purpose is Good.’
And it is up to us
To suss that out - 
             to follow that 
           trail of crumbs
                            out
To its conclusion.
And that feeling - 
                 call it
                 a sense;
           for it makes
           good sense,
       oonsidering
       everything,
         and especially
The schoolroom context
Of this experience
Of life 
  (and which for me
   this time around
   has included the
   experience of having
   a wife; though not
   of having children
   of my own.  Except for
   everyone) - 
         has stayed with me
All this time.  Through thick
And thin.  

So let us begin
       the last
       chapter
Of this saga
We are in,
       and creating
       as we go.


And as for that schoolroom aspect
of life, there’s this:

          Tragedy

I see that both Cruz and Rubio
Are starting to position themselves 
For another run
For the presidency
                    (given
The nature of things
               in our day
               and age;
      what is actually
      a - the - New Age).
To which I say:
‘But neither of you
Is eligible, for not being
                   a true
Natural born citizen.’
To which they each reply:
‘If Obama was eligible
                  then so am I.’
To which I say, in turn:
                 ‘Precisely.’
To which reply they say:
                 ’Say what?’
And then I say:
‘The American people
Are about to experience
The consequences 
Of their actions
In allowing the nation
Not to run under
The rule of law
For the eight years
Of the Obama 
Maladministration’
  (think releasing 
  MS-13 assassins
  into the country,
  along with other
       terrorists,
  under the cover
  of being refugees):
‘Chaos.  Tragedy.
But it’s not to worry,
                   being
Such a little thing?
But it is, in the
Real world.’

And so now, let the flag
                  of Duty
Be unfurled.
As we prove our worth
       in the vast
       scheme
       of things

which has purpose.
