Reason
What is so modern, so modern today,
That I place my evil on shelf far away,
Contemporized thought from a modernized man,
And, delve into reason the best that I can.
Indulge every sense ‘til I’m senseless within,
Remove from the lexicon obsolete “sin”,
So my inner child is now free from all doubt,
And, all thanks to reason; I’ve reasoned it out.
If reason gets cloudy, or fuzzy or blurred,
There must be a reason that this has occurred,
For “evil” and “good” are the puzzlers I see,
But, I’ve reasoned “evil” from the depths of me!
If “evil” exists from within then I look,
From modern to ancient, I search every book,
There’s reason the Bible exists still today,
Christ lives and forgives for what I shelved away!
