Indulgence of Ignorance and Fallacies

Indulgence of Ignorance and Fallacies

A Poem by Jim_F
"

This one came from a time when someone told me something they regarded as a fact, but was far from the truth. I then started to wonder how many times we all have done the same.

"

To satisfy my curiosity I indulge in my hypotheses of both ignorance and fallacies. 

The world is flat, the universe revolves around us. 
The idea of the sickness, plagues and epidemics are sent from the hands of a spiteful God. 
Now I know how to stop the common cold, well that's a plus. 

You best believe it. 
No matter what sciences have told you; have you witnessed first hand what other so called experts say? If that's the case lets put you through your paces and play fetch. 
“Go get it there's the info you silly pup, now go retrieve it.” 

Half the blood in my body is blue, If you got hit from a that penny fell from the Empire State Building it would kill you. Never touch a baby bird just in case the mother can smell you, I swear at least that’s true. 

I'm sure the sun doesn't revolve around the earth, the world revolves around the sun. Let's not be dumb in the head. We only use ten percent of the thing that rests between our ears. Would that make us semi-brain dead? That is definitely something I fear. This is bringing me pain, how about the wrinkles in our skin caused from soaking up too much H2O when we are in for too long. Now isn't that insane? 

The more you know the better off you are. Oh no, I think she is missing, you better wait twenty four hours to call the police and have them work on the listing. 

Also ensure to ask if a person is a cop when your doing something wrong. I swear they have to tell you; if they don't its entrapment. Be wary now, taking photos of police officials is definitely a crime we like to call harassment. Survival of the fittest, No? How about the smartest? Diamond is the hardest and a spiders web is the strongest biological material. Eat a poinsettia and tell me how you feel. It will kill you in just a matter of time. After the fact will you live as long as a common housefly, 24 hours until you die, or will you be erased at the drop of a dime? 

I swear the more you question others the less you dare to ask another. All these statements are wrong look it up I'm tired of hearing the same old song and some of these I have been hearing for way too long. 
Know what you say before you speak, don't just go on and on hoping that the misinformation will stick and stay with the receiver. Who knows; maybe something we see as common knowledge today will be proven as weak and wrong. 

Incidentally that's our common denominator, we are all victims, so don't judge and be that hater. I have also accidentally been the wide eyed retriever and the unknowing deceiver saying what I said as a true believer. So stop and stall, think and question before you decide to throw or bring back that ball. 

P.S. Is the moon circling the earth or is it at a constant fall?
