State

When the rhetoric stops reality remains

Wishes and whims are easily in vain

Righteous purity destroys sanctity

Its rigidity leaves humanness a casualty

So look around and observe necessity

Conflict of desired reality versus probability

Closed ears and turned away eyes raise happiness

As if by magic the work is done to its fullness

Moral dilemma is subdued when your love cries

Clear the backyard and suffer the lies

The weak always bear the cost

When they gather and push, they’re told get lost

One day they stand their ground for living’s sake

This contest within reality they demand a higher stake

When reasonableness is abandoned, bloody mindedness

A tense taught time of resolute candidness
