The fact that tradition hinders the individual savage from thinking logically by no means proves that he cannot think logically.

It is a strange fact that freedom and equality, the two basic ideas of democracy, are to some extent contradictory. Logically considered, freedom and equality are mutually exclusive, just as society and the individual are mutually exclusive.

One individual doesn't really accept the pro-life position of the party, and the other... says he supports it and takes a position that is logically inconsistent.

fiat voluntas Dei
at the end
we shall not be responsible
for logically
what happened was that
it was God's will
it was Him all along asserting Himself
slowly
in a hurry or whatever
despite the fact
that they always make us feel
that we are responsible
with our own human
will,
at the end
He triumphs
even without us

Narcissism and the Confederate dead cannot be connected logically, or even historically; even were the connection an historical fact, they would not stand connected as art, for no one experiences raw history.

Somebody who thinks logically is a nice contrast to the real world.
Owner
Where is the owner
Who is that
Ask not.
Not logical
And also
Logically fallacious.
Nobody is here
To identify
Probably
Best is the sky.

Reverse Psychology
Chorus/chant:
Reverse psychology
Doesnt work on me
It works my nerves
But I think logically
So dont rehearse what youre gonna say
I like it better the spontaneous way
You got an insecurity? I wont nurse it
I dont buy psyche - so why reverse it?
Verse 1:
Games are good for attention (mmm-yeah!)
But in the end they let you down
Hold me back or let me go
But no more middle ground
Boy, youve got to play your cards right
Get on back to the basics of love
We dont need no mindless mind games
A little give and take - push and shove -
A little honesty is what Im in need of!
Chorus/chant
Verse 2:
Dont you know Ive seen it all
Though I seem naive to you
(so now) hit me with anything at all -
Just hit me with the truth - yeah!
You keep thinking one of these days youll
Push my back against the wall (against the wall)
Its too late for tricks of the trade now
I can escape anything at all - oh!
A little push and shove - give and take -
But I wont fall!
Chorus:
Reverse psychology
Doesnt work on me (never did, never will)
It works my nerves
But I think logically
So dont rehearse what youre gonna say
I like it better the spontaneous way
You got an insecurity? I wont nurse it
I dont buy psyche - so why reverse it?
Bridge:
Why wait till something better comes along?
Why not stay steady and strong? (steady and strong)
A silver lining cannot be far away (be far)
Youll get much further if you
Do what you mean and mean what you say
1-2-3-i said.....
Chorus:
Reverse psychology
Doesnt work on me
It works my nerves
But I think logically (oh so much)
So dont rehearse what youre gonna say
I like it better the spontaneous way
You got an insecurity? I wont nurse it
I dont buy(I dont buy it) psyche - so why reverse it?
Chorus/chant
Jam! jam!
I said, jam!
Reverse psychology style
Jam
Jam (oooo - yeah!)

Dullard's Diatribe
Life is poetry, how it can be!
Life is without rhyme and rhythm,
Poets seek flow and mystic music,
Life lacks both and stumbles like a freak,
All these are make believe and a false promise,
Truth lies in meter and foot, a fool's paradise!
Life, poetry, truth and beauty in different tracts,
Truth is bitter beauty is sweet, in fact a true fact.
So No truth and no beauty in poetry, all are bogus
A hoodwinking, blackmailing and logically fallacious.

Mutual antipathy.
Mutual antipathy
monotetra
I cannot say with certainty
that I am right though I might be.
You have the right to disagree.
I will consider carefully
the reasons that you offer me.
As to why you can’t agree.
I think that very possibly
there’s little possibility
That you will ever agree with me
You can’t admit that I might be
correct. Because you dislike me.
You are not thinking logically
I cannot claim with honesty
that I am quite prejudice free.
I don’t like you, you don’t like me.
At least on that we can agree.

In the best farce today we start with some absurd premise as to character or situation, but if the premises be once granted we move logically enough to the ending.

Places I've lived since then had to have some kind of uniqueness and character about them. And logically Key West, and then Down Island. So, all of that stuff sort of had it's roots in New Orleans and went crazy.

Honesty and Truth
Through the windows of my soul I see
Divisibility of Truth
Two Entities that dwell within
Each A partnered substitute
The Heart is ruled by Emotive Truth and
Trusts. In Honesty
But The Mind Accepts. Whats only Fact
And Trusts. Logically
Though I believe. What I Believe
With All I am Inside
But My Honest Truth lives in My Heart
The Veritable Truth. In My Mind!

Serious poetry deals with the fundamental conflicts that cannot be logically resolved: we can state the conflicts rationally, but reason does not relieve us of them.

Trapped Im Somewhere One Guess? !
Somewhere there must be
theres gotta be a way logically
if not logically some other way!
o reason and spirituality neither be far away!
stay close i need thee to understand thy world
mind unfurled!
everything spinning and all of it just gone!
grr no energy i cant make rhyme or song!
then what is this you think i know? !
i dont know i cant even show a little brightness
its so dark so confusing world in dark
scratchy, hard, and firm like bark
it puts up these walls and keep me in the darkness
you think there is a way to handle this with finesse
will i be trapped here spiral lower: ? ! deeper into it!
lets go deeper darker danker in this pit!
bring it on! ill take it all
one more time just let me fall
further further into the fray!
mmmkay?
so deep
i can feel it closer it will creep
up higher the mossy darkness its real now! real
no expected this but no need to squeal
it won't be over it won't be okay its not gonna end well
Welcome to the living he**
confusion, ambivalence, torture, pain, suffering, rife guilt, everything you could want
do not let all these daunt
you my friend we are not too deep yet
even though its dank dark and wet
we can still get out the darkness is never too deep......
or are we? or is it? ... hello? ? ....
a voice solemly replied
'you are always alone, always afraid, always in darkness, always in confusion, always in death..'
no... always hope
as i grope
around in the darkness trying to find my way home
now i wish i had kept my tome
of knowledge
trying to find my home always... hope

It is people who are the objects of globalization and at the same time its subjects. What also follows logically from this is that globalization is not a law of nature, but rather a process set in train by people.
