Sir Bacon’s Barricade

Sir Bacon’s Barricade

Logical conclusion has no emotion and destroys illusion

Finality is its family and justice its omnipotence

Reason is its sun that energizes and bestows

But only on those that obey its laws and ways

Religion’s an opposition that fights logical conclusion

And dialectic materialism is based on spiritualism vomiting out collectivism

Two sides of the same coin, irrationalism their shared optimism

Destruction, superstition, suffering and death their political logical conclusion

Then suffer always the little children taught fear and altruism

Wondering why while covered in blood, their tears flooding a chasm

I am my bro’s and sis’s keeper philosophically

For if they surrender to the druids of unreason, I’m the sacrificial lamb unequivocally

So everyday’s a snow day for I trudge in the intellectual cold

The battle between Plato and Aristotle, my side the Lyceum ragged but bold

Yet look around and despite my love the quantum fold

Humanity insists on trudging thru’ where brass is worth more than gold
