A door appeared. It opened. “See?
The reasoning you thought was sound
fell on your worldview’s slippery ground.”
I’ll tweak another mystery.
That dissonance won’t let me be.
The stars above at least still shine.
While rioters prepare to whine
the world remains about the same
though burnt a bit with needless blame.
I’ll cross that threshold, make it mine.
Ronovan Hester offers the rhyme word “ground” to be used in a B line of a décima having rhyme pattern ABBAACCDDC for this week’s challenge.


Love this: ““See? The reasoning you thought was sound fell on your worldview’s slippery ground.”
I am doing some research on worldview’s right now.
Blessings.

Although I knew the word before, “worldview” was on my mind from listening to a Greg Bahnsen set of talks that SlimJim indirectly referenced. Thank you, Michael!

The first link on “moralistic therapeutic deism” is interesting (among others). I will try to read it later today. It is good to see different worldviews to make sure we are not unwittingly following them.
