Majority Argues No Better Than Minority Poem by John Sensele

Majority Argues No Better Than Minority



When the majority gets it wrong
Don't jump on their bandwagon to make it strong
Because majority ain't always bright or right
Despite numbers seeming to validate the might
They claim swings strength of arguments in their favour
Although reliability and validity deny them the flavour
They require to consolidate and validate the proof
Majority ain't dreaming and swimming in the hoof
Where perceptions of misconceptions abound
To fallacies and fantasies' sound
As deluges of huge subterfuge leak and sneak fallacies
That delude, denude and exude fantasies
Until deeper scrutinies of destiny discover
Flies and miles of lies pile up in tonnes
With stealth of ill health conceal in tans
Proof on the roof awaits the attention
It deserves to strengthen prevention
Rather than caress costly cure
Availed and hailed in good time to procure
A simpler solution to the illusion
The majority conspires in the delusion
Minority deserves no honest hearing
As long as the majority pulls the string
That swings the verdict to the convenience
Whose inaction and procrastination in salience
They promote against the greater good
The silent minority though misunderstood
If the course of natural justice
Decrees no favour accrues to injustice
That implies the majority always wins the argument
By virtue of larger numbers validates the comment
Contestants, recalcitrants and resistants
Favour the endeavour and flavour of proven protestants.
