Oleaginous ... Fanatic

Today's word is "oleaginous" ... oh-lee-aj-uh-nun s ... having the nature or qualities of oil; containing oil; producing oil; unctuous; fawning; smarmy. (Dictionary.com)

Fanatic
Do you believe what he has said?
His oleaginous words?
The way they wind and twist about,
You can't make sense of what you've heard.

His logic does not exist at all,
His emotions are intense,
At your reasonable argument,
He'll take great offense.

To him, your facts are smoke and dust.
Because you're on the wrong side,
But truth cannot be swept away,
By whims of self-made pride.
