Poking holes in Philosophy

Wandering the Wilderness
above the valley sprawl
I take a deep breath
ground, center and all that crap
after dealing with some fools
whose mouths were better
when left shut.

Like starving leeches
they came into conversations
seeking to draw their points bold
by spouting off ideas that fail
logical and coherence tests
with blind abandon.

Our only defense
is dropping smart bombs
loaded with thought and knowledge
and let go the hilt
Poking holes in Philosophies
only imbeciles follow.

When the retreat
we sigh in relief
then laugh at things unleashed
from the mouths of fools
and the parries used
driving them away.

To this day
one stands out loud
for foot in mouth crimes
like "Assault with Intellectual Vocabulary"
and my personal favorite
someone "posthumously pontificating".

So I inhale
and listen to birds
wiser creatures than most credit
for while they chatter constantly,
they stick to subjects
they actually know.

yes, you will meet strange folks when on the street/in shelters. Not all have coherent thought processes.
