Abstract Irritation

Abstract Irritation

Does fate decree about you and me, then laughs at the disharmony?

We wish, pray and intone for what we yearn, ardently

We must see and witness to ourselves reality, truthfully

What a price we pay for indulging tomfoolery

Visceral beings, conflicts with the gods

Of man, those irascible contradicting sods

We constantly seek our muse to light our fuse

The muses sit on high and view us with bemusement

Now this was a silly thought for we know logic neutralizes magic

But all this contradiction is humanity’s real situation, pedagogic

There’s no answer why just those remnants before logic

We didn’t know that e=mc squared and that one day we’d fly

Alas resistance to this day is cognitive dissonance

The dance of willful obstinate ignorance

That we can pretend and play is evidence

That we ascend with logic is intelligence
