Let’s write some rhymes from Left and Right
A verse is better than a fight.
We’ll lay out what the difference is
And at the end you’ll find a quiz.
Right:
“I’ll argue that the Right depends
“On subtle reason when it defends
“Positions that it holds most dear
“Right's reason whispers in your ear,
“Whereas the Left will shout and curse
While taking taxes from your purse
“And then the Right they will condemn
"As always in ad hominem.”
“The thoughts we carry do collate
“The ways we actuate our fate.
“What lies within our minds foretells,
“Does guide, and then compels
“It drives us to a common ground
“Where you and I can compromise;
“Trust me, now, I think it’s wise.
“But you might argue otherwise,
“That thinking’s not how we agnize.
“That feelings are the way we know.”
Left:
“They are inbred from long ago.
“Our thoughts are not a driving force
“Sensations are the real workhorse.
“We simply act on how we feel.
“Emotions are what acts reveal.
“And thus, we know just whom to hate
“Like Trump and others quick and late,
“Those racists of the past, you know.
“Columbus voyaged to and fro
“He started all the slavery trade
“From Africa and slaves conveyed.”
Right:
“That kind of talk is fraught with lies
“That through the media arborize,
“And show how feeling twists the facts
“Rewrites some history; misguides the lax;
“And trains the liberal young to hate
“Descendants whom they do equate
“With settlers in a different time
“Who lived a different paradigm.
“Emotion’s just one person’s truth
“Something you Libs don’t teach your youth.
“But if you say that what is real
“Is little more than how we feel,
“I’ll tell you, no, it isn’t true.
“Real for me is real for you.
“Paper cuts lie not in thought
“Irons that burn are truly hot.
“I’d be remiss denying truths
“What we know now we learned as youths.
“Kick a stone; you’ll hurt your toe
“Pain is pain; it brings us woe.
“Certain sure we can be wrong
“But feelings sing the Sirens’ song.
“And misconceptions that occur
“Make all we see into a blur.
“Sure, our thoughts can be quite wrong.
“You and I on that concur.
“Yet, our thinking plays its role
“Giving meaning to the whole.
“Sans pure thought the Self is less;
“It’s thinking makes the Self fluoresce.
“Thinking drives a prudent life;
“Prudence then reduces strife.
“If all we have is what we feel,
“Sensation will define what’s real.
“When I feel cold and you feel hot
“Truth becomes a Gordian’s knot.
“Thermometers will measure true
“The truth’s not me; the truth’s not you.
“It’s reason that interprets truth
“It’s what we now should teach our youth.”
Left:
“Your thinking’s heartless, emoting’s not.
“Compassion’s never born in thought.
“We need to feel if we’re to see
“The world as one for you and me.”
Right:
“That’s how we differ; it’s not one;
“A father differs from his son.
“Our difference is how we know
“Jack from Jill and Jill from Joe
“The frontal cortex is what welds
“Our differences in unity;
“Emotions break community
“By breaking up by race and class,
“If you’re not favored, you’re an ass.”
“I have a different view of man
“Extolling difference is my plan.
“Each to his own, what’s mine’s not yours.
“I see a world of open doors
“You want doors closed on how you feel
“For you it’s race that does appeal.
“Emotions see just black or white
“And they dictate what’s wrong or right.
“That’s how you voted to elect
“Joe Biden who did all affect
“With spending sprees still in effect
“And industry he then did wreck,
“And border crossings in the millions;
“Illegals helped to spend his trillions.
“All based on feelings of old Joe
“Who said that Trump was our foe.
“What was his plan save to expend
“Our wealth in causes with no end?”
Left:
“But, I say, we must emote
“To know for whom to cast a vote
“Supporting those who need it most
“In Guatemala to the Gold Coast.
“And all the UN wants to back
“Like climate that is now attacked.”
Right:
“Listen now as you declare,
“We spend our money on the air,
“We spend it on our enemies.
“We give them dollars; ourselves, pennies.
“Remember Bagram left behind
“For Taliban an easy find?
“Joe left them billions to equip
“Each warlord with a chieftainship.”
“And now your party pickets ICE
“Emotions give such bad advice.
“You Lefties side with Venezuelans
“With vicious organizations
“With those who hate the Jews
“And with Hamas and Hezbollah
“I see it in the daily news
“Your coeds dressed in a burqa
“Their feelings born in ignorance
“Of women’s lives in Middle East
“Where they’re considered as the least.
“How the coeds seem to feel
“Does not relate to what is real.”
Left:
“You have no heart or empathy
“That is the human destiny.
“And now you send illegals back
“To their own countries and to jails
“And that is where your thinking fails.
“Aren’t they people like you and me?”
Right:
“But those sent back were on a spree
“Of murder, rape, and thievery.
“Selective outrage hides the fact
“Of how their victims now react
“Or try to sleep quite unperturbed
“Their nightmares have their nights disturbed.
“Compassion’s good and has its place
“But you must look into a face
“Of a mom who lost her child
“Because Old Joe let gangs run wild.
“You let emotion drag you down
“You’re out there singing like a clown.
“For what and whom and just because?
“Are foreign gangs your only cause?
“See that is where your feelings fail
“A thinker thinks to use a jail
“To put away MS-13
“Before they kill another teen.
“Emoting’s fine with common sense
“Your screaming ‘Nazi’ is no defense
“No matter how your pundits try
“They lose debate with each bold lie
“As in those silly statements made
“To claim old Joe just should have stayed,
“To claim Kamala was so smart
“When everyone could plainly see
“And in their brains thought differently.
“And one more thought to end debate:
“Emotion is not good for fate.”
