Someone once said they were an " Idealist Historian " , I like that so I guess I'm one too . That last rhyme was tough for a second , then it came to me .Enjoy
Paradoxical Intention ( c ) Glen Mitton 2019
Like neighborhood salesmen who want to score
They crack a smile as you crack open the door
Jamming their foot in they have no shame
Your only defense is a little brass chain
The door is ajar that's all they need
To wear down your intellect as they feed
" Give us an inch and we'll take a mile "
The evil doers say with an evil smile
Leading us on by dangling a carrot
They're nothing more than cunning ferrets
I learned two new words I'd like to mention
They are " Paradoxical Intention " *
A method coined to overcome certain behavior
It can also be used by unscrupulous traitors
Paradoxical : an adjective a self construed contradiction
Causing normal thought waves to cross in opposition
Intention : a noun meaning an anticipated outcome
A victory for those who succumb
Their premise ? " to force feed and contrive "
Hitting below the belt to keep the narrative alive
Crawling up from their criminal gulch
They spread their regurgitated mulch
Hoping we become " Pavlov's Dog "
Ring a bell and we come running like hogs
Filling the trough with their slop to eat
Bombard it with substitutes to make it sweet
We have the ability to refrain from being used
Corralled like sheep , sheered and abused
History has shown they've tried this before
Losers will do anything to one up the score
They undermine underscore to get any result
To all Americans everywhere this is an insult
Imagine yourself in a house that's on fire
Getting out safely is the only desire
We're being told " trust us open the door " ,
" Pay no attention the fire's roar "
We were taught to put our hand on it first
Check to see if it's hot or things might get worse
That kind of logic goes against their grain
It is not part of their dishonest campaign
These people want you and I burned
All rational thinking is quickly adjourned
History tells us , " If you leave the door ajar "
" It's easy access to someone with a crowbar " !
These are lessons , they're not myths
It's the fundamentals they like to mess with
These tactics are deliberate aggression
Aimed purposely with misdirection
What happens when you take your eye off the ball ?
Your sacrificed and sent down the hall
Have we forgotten what history has taught us ?
The one lesson that threw common sense under the bus
" If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it ,
People will eventually come to believe it "
A quote from the F.O.A.P. **, Joseph Goebbels
A guy who made more sparks fly than Chernobyl
* The concept was termed by Dr. Viktor Frankl ( circa ?? )
