Reason Kneels

Kurt Philip Behm

Is it logic

Is it impulse

Is it neither

Or then both

 

Is it Descartes

Is it Hegel

Is it Kantian

In our hope

 

Will we whisper

Will we dictate

Will we prejudge

Most devout

 

Will we wonder

Will we question

Will we pander

Into doubt

 

In the morning

In the noontide

In the twilight

Of our youth

 

Reason saunters

Reason flounders

Reason kneels

— before the truth

    Another lovely write my friend and yes reason does kneel before the truth if we can find it. Sometimes what we feel is truth is not but a disguise.

      Ah Yes ! The Jester is always lurking ...

        May he not trip you up this day
