Logic

My all time hero is Mister Spock;
Not the doctor, but the trekker;
The science officer of the Enterprise.
Born of logic, freed of feelings,
Void of human fallacies.
No emotions evidenced
When gazing in his eyes.Although his stoic countenance
Was carried to extreme
Too complex for us tounderstand,
The aspect of his character
Is simple in its form;
Pointing to the frailties in man.

All things must be logical;
Adhering just to facts.
Science forms the singularly
All-embracing tract.

Fortunately, Spock was not
Completely void of feeling.
Even though his training hid it well.
His human half emerged and helped
To guide in his decisions
Like Pavlov's dogs
Responding to the bell.

So, even though I do admire
This "simple logic" notion,
I wouldn't really want to be
Void of all emotion.
