DEFEATED PROSE CONNING ITS WAY INTO ROMPANEOUS ORDER

A Poem

Roses are red, violence is too

Who’s to tell me, All violets are blue?

Violets in shade are short of true blue

And roses are read by perceptions of hue

So how do you account for parallax visions?

And differences in opinion on governing propositions?

True reason comes from doubt and observation

Descartes and Bacon shared insights, null of prophetic revelation

But the Holy Roman Church and State, stated all “truths”

That resulted in the land of conclusions, as in the Phantom Tollbooth

Where are the wild things? AoooooHHH!

Philosopher kings and tyrannosaurus

You fool no one, you’re assumptions erroneous

Your coercion and power, empowers the weak

For weeks on out your message is bleak

Welfare and high wages for the people!

Social security and public education will be a staple!

Dead weight loss and zero sum games

Harburger’s triangles, it’s more of the same

I thought there was no such thing as a “free lunch”

But for cronies and bureaucrats everyday it’s time to munch

Scare tactics and propaganda is your mode of operation

Little effect has it on a nation built on free exchange calculation

When property and economic rights are devolved to the people

They possess a strong base of opposition, thus senses heedful

On the road to tyranny no society lays down

and willingly submits to triumph and breakdown

Truth speaks for itself, there’s no substitute to reason

The tutelage of central planning creates pathways to treason

Socialism leads to de-development and destitution

A daily menu of bread, potatoes, and pollution…

of the mind, body, and character of the soul

Let no one man dictate and posses absolute control

Dictators and bandits, go ahead, battle with me

For I’m on the side of Hayek, Mises, and Pete Boettke

The role of ideas will humiliate your gun

Not long, till you will be exposed as public enemy number one

Prices left unhampered give me the information I need

To generate the incentives and coordination you cannot foresee

So ask not what you can do for your country,

But as Milton said, ask what you can do for yourself

If roses are red and violets are blue

I need no one but me, to reason that this is

It has no due date, no deadline. Just a meaning on its own.

I continually ask myself what liberty and freedom of expression mean to me. And when words often fail to fully represent my personal thoughts – something finds its way to do so.

On a day of defeat. random mental processes ensued. and amalgamated itself into broke-beat English. accompanied by slug-like ink stains on paper napkins and jean pockets. The closer you look, the more you will see. Only one might ask, Where is the coordination? Where is the romping?… You tell me.
