Fighting for Reason

Faith and fate
And gods and ghosts
Heaven and black holes

What must a thinker think?
Where must a critic stand, when
most of life is shaky ground?

This business of Life
Could make one weary —
Fumbling for logic,
Fighting for reason
When reason is nowhere
to be found

Not here…

Faith and fate
And gods and ghosts
Eyes open
Eyes closed

So weary…

So weary,
Even the skeptic
Wants to believe.
