Being An Apologist Poem by Randy McClave

She told me that she studied psychology,
And that she was a psychologist,
I told her that I studied religion and philosophy
As my belief I informed her, I am an apologist.
Inside us all I believe we have our own soul and temple,
And to me that is life, it is just that simple.

She said sometimes in reality we all must be a hypocrite
Especially when the shoe is on someone else's foot,
I told her in those times that the shoe just doesn't fit,
No matter in what part of your mind that is put.
Her forefathers might have been Wundt or Hippocrates,
But, mine of course he was Socrates.

My religion differs than what she was taught
I believe inside us all we are meant to be who we are,
Another belief of feeling we should never have sought
We are not none the same; by far.
She told me the difference between an apple and a tomato,
I told her to read, “The Allegory Of The Cave” by Plato.

All men and women are weak that is our animal urges
She wrote that down for me and I informed her that was libel,
She said from our brain impure needs and desires emerges
I told her to read the 10 commandments from the Bible.
She told me she was a psychologist she studied psychology,
I told her I was an apologist and I gave her my sincere apology.
