The anger that lives within this soul
Seems to live for causes less than real.
What is debate?  Is it war, the role
Of words to kill or mame for unknown causes?

Surely the true heart of words is in
The information they carry, not the sin
That we, in our hateful selves, launch in war.
But still, the anger that lives within this soul...

Have I, in my quest for reason, lost sight
Of the prize for which I have long sought?
Do I not know the meaning of the very word?
No.  Instead I've let romantic dreams
Uncage my "reason" as an untam'd bird
And thrown it out of this closed self.

"If history is to change, let it change. If the world is to be destroyed, so be it. If my fate is to die, I must simply laugh"

-- Magus
