When Reason Falls

It's hard to do the right thing
  when fate calls your name out loud

Where not only the bad get punished
  in its pursuit

The world has lost its way
   along the path of least resistance

Our ethos dueling the hunger pangs
  of human nature at its root

So many have been killed
  in the ageless battle for truth immortal

A deadly fight with rules afoul
  that change from night to day

The sun though always rising east
  the moon diverts its purpose

As reason falls when memory stalls
  -the righteous kept at bay

(Villanova Pennsylvania: August, 2018)
