Interesting though you may be,
Dogma will be all I shall see.
Even though the truth,
Openly can prove
Philosophical logic otherwise.
Honing in on ears and eyes
Order of my thoughts shall stay
Backwards and illogical anyway.
Incongruent though I might be.
Anchored, you shall not sway me.

Ideophobia – Fear of Ideas
 

 

 

Author's Note: This poem is a satire, not my personal opinion. It was written
for a contest with the prompts of "phobia". I chose to write about some people's fear of ideas in acrostic form. I changed the title after submission due to the prompting of the contest host.
