Mobile groans

Jeremy Corbyn
Gets up every morning
He looks  at his phone
Utters mobile groans
Will he never accept
His campaign has been wrecked?
He’s got no charisma
Just a greyish miasma
But psychopaths win
And he is not one
Well,I am done
I want some more fun

As I wonder if my actions suit my aims

The vicious never pause  or hesitate
They run towards us with  their eyes  aflame
For others, doubt’s  as natural as fate

What of those whose vocation is debate?
They love to argue, meddle and play  games
The vicious never  pause  or hesitate

For myself, my actions are delayed
As I wonder if my actions suit my aims
For others, doubt’s as natural as fate

But if we doubt, we may decide too late
And other stronger people reach their aims
The vicious never  pause  or hesitate

In our souls, we need a silence to create
And people may perceive us to be lame
For others, doubt’s as natural as fate

Many people desire much wealth and fame
A desire which, when achieved , leaves them insane
The vicious never pause  or meditate
For others, doubt will make them only late

Till all of Europe burned with a vile breath

Christian rites clothed Europe but skin deep
Forced  conversions led to spiritual death
Under fragile skin, barbarians sleep

Savage wakening; hatreds  outwards leapt
Till all of Europe burned with a  vile breath
Christian rites clothed Europe but skin deep

The military, the  rulers, the elite
Killed young men to vent imagined wrath
Under fragile skin, barbarians slept

At the side, the devil has his seat
See he smoulders, brilliant, violent, tough.
Christian rites clothed Europe but skin deep

G-d’s  own chosen , sacrifice  complete
Jesus  dies so  many, many deaths
Under fragile skin, barbarians sleep

Depart from me, you tricksters, feral, wild

Depart from me, you tricksters, feral, wild
Dressed as gormless youth or aged man
My  home is poisoned, by you struck, defiled

My hair stands up, my temper restless, riled~
Will impose a duty on your clan
Depart from me, you tricksters, feral, wild

Now, the rule of law has judged your trial
From this city, you are ever  banned
My  home is poisoned, by you struck, defiled

Flames  like hell  with length more than the Nile
My hatred is immense in all its strands
Depart from me, you tricksters, feral, wild

The judge has spoken, now the words are filed
In the past, you’d burn with iron brands
My  home is poisoned, by you struck, defiled

Over England, over Europe’s lands
Workless men are roaming in their bands
Depart from me, you tricksters, feral, wild
My  home is poisoned by your tricks agile

 

 

Our Other who stars in Heaven

Our Other who stars in Heaven,
Spell me your Great Name.
Your wisdom comes
And Angels’ sums
Add up all human pain.
Thy love is felt,
Though we live in doubt
About the human game.
Give us delay
On bankers pay,
And forgive us our lacklustre efforts
As we  try to forgive those who lack humanity with us,
And guide us into a Demonstration
To make plain to the Nation
The evil done to the Poor,
The Disabled,the Mentally Ill,
And their Carers.
For Thine is the Trial
At the Hour of the Bible Story
We hope but are nervous.
Amen

What’s he not done?

Jeremy Corbyn
Seems to alarm ’em
What’s he not done
To give them their fun?
He’s much too left wing
Attlee was wrong.
Jeremy, my saviour
Smarten up your behaviour
They got Michael Foot
For wearing wrong coats.
Should we adapt to reality
Or stick  hard to fidelity?

The impact of victim blaming

Extract

“Victim-blaming is actually something that comes up all the time in sessions,” says Dr. Anju Hurria, a psychiatrist and assistant clinical professor of child and adolescent psychiatry at University of California–Irvine. “It’s really considered a secondary trauma or a secondary assault.” She says those who are blamed for abuse they experienced “report greater distress, increased amounts of depression; [it] usually complicates their post-traumatic stress disorder, if they’re experiencing that, because they’re dealing with two different assaults. Often we’ll see an increase in suicidal ideation, and then it often decreases people’s chances of reporting future abuses, because there is a fear they won’t be believed, or that they’ll have to deal with the negative feedback of reporting it.”

Hurria adds that victim-blaming can also worsen symptoms of anxiety. And experts say it can increase shame, leave a person more disconnected from their own feelings as well as make it harder to connect with other people and ultimately stand in the way of recovery.

What are logical fallacies?

wte

http://www.logicalfallacies.info/

 

“Once it has been decided what is to count as a logical fallacy, the question remains as to how the various fallacies are to be categorised. The most common classification of fallacies groups fallacies of relevance, of ambiguity, and of presumption.

Arguments that commit fallacies of relevance rely on premises that aren’t relevant to the truth of the conclusion. The various irrelevant appeals are all fallacies of relevance, as are ad hominems.

Arguments that commit fallacies of ambiguity, such as equivocation or the straw man fallacy, manipulate language in misleading ways.

Arguments that commit fallacies of presumption contain false premises, and so fail to establish their conclusion. For example, arguments based on a false dilemma or circular arguments both commit fallacies of presumption.

These categories have to be treated quite loosely. Some fallacies are difficult to place in any category; others belong in two or three. The ‘No True Scotsman’ fallacy, for example, could be classified either as a fallacy of ambiguity (an attempt to switch definitions of “Scotsman”) or as a fallacy of presumption (it begs the question, reinterpreting the evidence to fit its conclusion rather than forming its conclusion on the basis of the evidence).”

When logic’s overvalued, it deceives

When logic’s overvalued, it deceives
The premises are not examined well.
Reason’s based on what the eye receives.

It utilises just what we perceive.
Recollect exactly how Troy fell
While logic is so valued, it deceives

In the minds of rogues, tricks are conceived
Things look safe but one can’t  always tell
Reason’s based on what the mind receives.

Our prejudices alter all our views
From boredom to excitement feel, the thrill
While logic is so valued, it deceives

Another influence is the media news
We are altered without using any will
Reason’s based on what the mind receives.

Even when aware it happens still
And so the  great deceivers make their kill
When logic’s overvalued, it deceives
Reason’s based on what the mind perceives.
