Your Poetry Dot Com - REASONED CONCLUSIONS

I don't see why some people try,
without reason, to reach a conclusion.
They must conceive an end to be achieved,
through pre-supposition already chosen.

They accentuate the positive, ignore the negative,
and, apparently, find comfort in illusion;
to prove a connection they've already reckoned
will fit their pre-supposed delusion.

Yet, steadfast is truth, we find from our youth,
in solving the age old mysteries;
by following the evidence through reasoned inquest
of science, and accurate histories.

True science has shown aging to be known
affected by the rays of the sun.
Bible history attests longevity was best
Before Noah's Ark made its run.

We see man's age decline right in line
with the canopy deluge postulation.
Now we can see how fitting this must be
from the onset of creation.

The Bible also lists, a pre-flood morning mist
rising to water the earth each day..
Would this not lead to the conclusion indeed
of a water vapor canopy in play?

Then, the canopy fell as rain, quite well,
all the habitable land to cover:
while "the deep" broke up making the oceans a cup;
can we logically conclude any other?

Urchins of the sea have been found to be
upon the highest of mountains.
Wouldn't this tend to show proof of a flood flow,
and its ebb into the fountains?

Don't ever pre-suppose a rose, a rose,
if it looks some what a carnation.
If you do, I must firmly assure you,
You will earn reason's indignation.

Reason can surely be a help for you and me,
if not corrupted by pre-supposition.
Think it all through, ignoring the Bible won't do
You'll be found in an untenable condition.
