A false narrative #poetry #God #Christ #Spirit #regeneration #Messiah #identity

A polemic, a platitude,
A syllogism, a metaphor,
A false narrative, a conclusion
A false dichotomy based
on self-serving facts…
 
An analogy, a way of thinking,
A form of self-creation, of identity,
of putting others in a trap,
A rhetorical straight jacket…
 
Cutting off debate, discussion,
A walled off conversation,
demanding external validation,
A tripwire, a bear trap,
leading to conviction…
