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 to understand,

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.
