Invalidate!

rhyming quatrains

 

Invalidate!!

 

The truth is like democracy

An ideal we aspire to

But it seems we can’t agree.

Nor are we ever likely to.

 

What’s true for me is not for you

What you believe I can’t accept.

We hold opposing points of view.

Each one deserving of respect.

 

We tend to see democracy.

As rule by the majority.

Subjected to close scrutiny

It proves to be a fallacy.

 

Someone must wield authority.

Though sadly there are very few.

Who have the capability

 and even fewer willing to.

 

Assume responsibility.

So we make do with second best.

But is that true democracy.

I have to say I’m not impressed.

 

By Ideals which I don’t believe.
That we cannot possibly achieve.

One truth and true democracy.

As long as men think differently.

 

To tell the truth I find it odd

That men who claim to speak for God.

Can hold so many different views

Infinite in variety.

 

The being who created me

Saw fit to set me free.

No priest has the authority

To take away my liberty.
