Myth or Logic
07 August 2006

Some say it is not true
some say the spirit does tell lies
Of this to defy logic, that other spirit
the one that was always in disguise

So what do we believe
as if to those choices to make
Would it be real, or reality gone bad
those moments of love, long or short term

Could two hearts in truth unite
or was that a myth called love
Such an attraction, magnetic in force
but as to a ship and no compass to guide in time

For who was right, or of that to be left
some say good is evil, if so addressed
Maybe that was why we have religion
to dictate to another in belief
Then should this be mankind
or logical to the rights to comprehend


“Religion consists in a set of things which the average man
thinks he believes and wishes he was certain of.”
Mark Twain (1835 - 1910)
US humorist, novelist, short story author
