Harlequin

Harlequin

Fear of the future and eternity raises scoundrels to stature
Gives tyrants power to promise and write their own nomenclature
The truth of reason always stands silently promising nothing
In reason, Liberty of body and mind opposes coercion’s vice

Alas, how to deny fear, to think, is seldom taught
Instead its ways are raised under the guise of deep thought
Taught to think instills a critical eye
Difference between concrete and abstract is where truth resides

So strip away emotion, tradition, religion and collectivism
Exposed is the road that denies fear its animalism
But that will expose you to attack for fear rises higher within ignorance
Morals based on reason will have to withstand the accusation of treason

In a world divided between religion and humanism there can be no exorcism
Different sides of the same ethic of altruism decrying secularism
So steeped in wreckage the competition towards imperialism
Reason stranded and dying, crying laissez-faire, laissez-passer!
