Beware Eloquence

![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmPo473oxiXzU6ytWL98X7sedWwpaoxU4QdFzyLeGz8r8X/img_5362.jpg)
***

Eloquence is seduction—
liars, politicians, criminals, 
poets, and saints all can be 
eloquent, and often are. 

Yet eloquence is 'morally neutral' 
it needn't be informed by Truth;
we are hypnotized by the music, 
and suspend our critical thinking...

If you enjoyed this short meditation, perhaps you’ll enjoy my [new poetry book](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/61311838-desert-songs)
