Random Excuses

Dan Williams

Determination becomes you, you seem sturdy and resolute.

Hesitation indicates an unsure constitution

with difficulty achieving conclusions;

chronic weak mindedness can label you a fool.

 

Reality can surpass even well reasoned conclusions,

truth can sometimes surpass reality.

Even un-listened for sounds can still echo,

echoes can inaccurately reproduce sounds.

 

Things lost can mostly never be truly recovered.

 Seemingly accurate history is often been revised

 or lies thinly disguised, hoping repetition justifies it.

So-called ‘news’ is almost always slanted.

 

Excuses and overly long explanations indicate uncertainty,

poorly thought-out reasons are inexcusable,

only logic is re-usable.

Mistaken belief in some golden rule only confuses you.

    These ring as if out of a new book of Proverbs exposing half truths buried under the slag of prevarication. Nicely written in a list like format that presents it as a new ten commandments.

    This is truth on wheels, barreling full-speed, no brakes, downhill! Seriously, this reflection astutely captures the truth of the situation in modern society. Well done friend!
