Reason Crucified is the Human Story


Some days reason is too onerous to take
You want to kick the traces
Wallow in temptation
Shake your mane
Not reflecting that the truly reasonable souls
Say Socrates or Jesus
Were indeed the very souls of reason
And killed for it
Left for dead

The very fabric of this world seems built on
The struggle between reason and perfidy
Perfidy turned into form and substance
Enshrining the pathological
In Gehry's New York
Rejecting Alexander
Going the crazy way

We ought to stand for reason
Splitting differences
Choosing with Falstaff to lie dead upon the field
Rather than posture for the crowd and die

But something in us sees reason 
As Dostoevsky's key

The hell free world of Jesus
Lacks the heady kick 
Of Satan's jeweled crown
