Simple Silly Syllogism

Simple Silly Syllogism

A Poem by Blake Q Hatfield
"

Wanted to write a peom based solely in syllogisms and how they are the simple way in which we draw the strangest conclusions.

"

He's a Native American Son
They came from the Russian land
Thus he's the lost tzar of Russia

A black man killed a white man
I'm a African American
Therefore I'm a killer

She's a girl with promise and skill
A woman once failed to meet the challenge
Thus this girl is destined to fail

He was born into a prominent family
There is another prominent kid with an easy life
Thus this child has it all

A man was released from prison
Another man returned to his ways once released
Thus this man shall do the same

She's a girl with a revolutionary idea
Change can hurt us
Therefore she's a threat to what we hold dear

They are different from me
Different things can cause harm
Thus there existance is an endangerment to our own

 

These are some of those simple silly sillogisms
The ones that rule our thoughs, our every day actions
They seem crazy on paper, but they work for many in reality

 

When we learn we understand
When we understand we comprehend
And when we comprehend we will hopefully destryoy the simple silly syllogisms

The first syllogism is based in the theory that many Native American tribes arrived in North America via the ice bridge between Alaska and Russia several thousans years ago.
