 ** every generation's battle **
There are no reasons
Untrue or born unnaturally
Which confound philosopher's apprentice
All dream in reach understood
Nightmares transmuted to mud
Escapes of reality grounded
All truths rich well fed
Stagger gigantic across landscape
Of thoughts and ideas
All what was dismissed and set
Aside and denied
The reasons hollow as drums
Open as horns between which
Run the darkest chords
Ignore dismiss withdraw
Those falsifies of reason remain
To be knocked down anew
Each generation must test own naivety
Believe in common errors
The what should bes often are not
Human nature may incline to goodness
Also inclines to selfish slothfulness
A full stomach does not question
What died to fill that cavern
Tomorrow always fresh dawn
For reasons ignoble and flawed
To be faced by good men
As dragons have always needed to be defeated
By bravery and knowledge.
