Dedicated to those Twitter erstwhile followers who resort to insults against my person because they disagree with what they think I think or even what they think I think about what others think. Ad hominem attacks tend to degrade the quality of any debate but also lend credence to the person insulted.
Moral High Ground
When descending from your moral high ground
Be not by blatant bias bound
Make sure your analysis is suitably sound
For you have no intellectual entitlement
Oh, Master of Morality, we humbly beseech you
Despite their inadequacy, let these weary words reach you
What can we mere mortals even try to teach you?
So blessèd be your enlightenment
As we wander through our worlds of woe
We may not know where truth will show
But let’s treat no man as mortal foe
Because he defines his own moral high ground
He may select streams where pure water hides
He may praise the courts where the law abides
Or even turn to a church where belief decides
What’s wrong or right or profound
Some may point to a person with a dubious way of dressing
Who even for the sinner will say a simple blessing
They may be pleasant but there’s no way of guessing
Whether they’ve really thought things through
Some believe in a nation as if that is THE solution
Or feel that morality is the opposite of pollution
There are those obsessed with divine retribution
Or any other weird world view
So, give us this day our daily bread
That we might clear bad thoughts from head
And let nothing lead to the awful dread
That only holiness can confound!
We are unenlightened, yet live by what we see
Not by what your followers might think we should be
Will your statements start to set us free
From the oppression of your Moral High Ground?
