A Tantrum

One look at post-modern thinking

One more drink of beer for the day

They might argue for subjective truth

But what blasphemy they do say

One look at atheism today

One more hand to the head

How can anyone, let alone millions be like so

His atheism saw God as nature led.

One look at reality as conceived

The amount of shock on his face

How can there not be natural order

In this human race?

One look at learning and development

Besides the unheralded progression

Of learning for the popular masses

Surely, you must be joking of such regression.

One look at truth and epistemology,

Oh boy, he looks like he might cry

How can anyone know through senses

Only reason can prevail—oh my my!

One look at what some people want,

A destruction of the line between church and state

No—this is where I shall make my stand!

No intersection because that is what I hate!

One more look and I don’t think he’ll still stand

The modern world is just too much

And Spinoza is no fan

Poor Spinoza, dug from his grave

Says goodbye and jumps right back in

“There is no retribution enough to be saved!”

And out he goes—there are no more debates for him to win.
