Rebuttal after rebuttal,
What comes after the sum total?
New knowledge? Yes, if but disposed.
Higher wisdom, the truth exposed,
But these rebuttals without end,
One’s will fixed so as not to bend,
Becomes something less than sincere,
A twisting (of minutia here)
Contrarian’s unquenchable
Aversion to the Lord’s table.
Delicacies of sophistries,
Dishes of look-at-me-selfies,
Crowd away culminating truths
And claims falling beyond “the bounds.”
Entitlements to contraction,
The scientific reduction,
Let’s limit them to one apiece,
Then move on like the wise in Greece,
Making it our very mission,
The instruments of transmission.
