Stanley Cooper - Circular Reasoning

Circular reason rarely
Results in conclusions fairly
When used it misguides
Too often provides
Cyclic conclusions squarely

Resorting to thinking so round-about
Regrettably causes a drought of doubt
Facts are diluted
Truthfulness muted
Valid conclusions are crowded-out

Thinking is mentally lax
With reasoning under attack
Facts misunderstood
Have no common good
When circularly twisting the facts

From here on in no longer persist
From here on in attempt to resist
As round-about thoughts
Always distorts
With conclusions in total abyss
