“Not the Millennium”
“Not the Millennium” crafts the Science versus Religion Binary. U.A Fanthorpe advocates, “There should be a law against confusing/Religion with mathematics./There was a baby. Born where? And when? The sources mention/Massacres, prophecies, stars;/They tell a good story, but they don't agree./So we celebrate at the wrong midnight./Does it matter? Only (dull) science expects/An accurate audit. The economy of heaven/Looks for fiestas and fireworks every day.” Religion is equivocal for it does not propose vibrant specifics on when Jesus was indisputably birthed. Controversies as regards Jesus’ birthdate are endemic date considering that all Christianity factions do not collectively ratify Christmas as Jesus’ ultimate centenary. Comparatively, scientific viewpoints are typically sponsored by certifiable postulations that can be authenticated by way of experimentation. Accordingly, Fanthorpe’s endorsement on illegalizing the muddling of “Religion with mathematics” is rational for it would emancipate the world from bewildering pandemonium.
“The Cleaner”
“The Cleaner” integrates cogent Ethos by citing the speaker’s peculiar familiarity with men. The speaker, who is doubtless a female avows, “Well, I’ve been married for thirty-two years,/I can do without them./I know what they’re after.” The speaker’s involvement with men spans more than three decades. Therefore, she recognizes the fledgling girls’ propensity for heartbreaks considering that she has been in the position. The colloquial tone in “The Cleaner” renders the speaker a mentally advanced, sympathetic woman who is concerned about the undeveloped girls that she meets.
