Symbolic DistrustA Chapter by Kenneth The Poet
Mathematical,
axiomatically rigid, not brittle. Commenced from a hot, fertile crescent, the playpen of Western Culture. The wellspring sprouted viral agriculture and the need to keep up with inventory. The first six numerals when multiplied gives the answer of sixty. The degrees in a circle, the seconds in a minute, the use is wide open, the abuse is widespread, far from few. Look at the books cooked by Enron, Worldcom, and the scandal prone Savings and Loan entities. The laws are followed, only those that are based in the realm of numbers. Derision at the subject is the deeper why. Frustration at the lack of discernment causes anger toward the symbols that tell us how much, contextually dependent, of course! And those passionate about numbers, are lump'd with the activist nuts. But, nut has more than one meaning, many contexts, an unfair label. The problem inside, trepidation eternal. Split, the heart and mind. But, the nut presses forth like an apostle in times gone by. But, one soul can stand in the tide of discontent and it will suddenly halt. One teacher makes all the difference, that alone causes less dissent. © 2011 Kenneth The PoetReviews
