Shadow of a Doubt
Only in the light of reasons we sprout
Do we seek our destinies by the shore.
Can there be a shadow of a doubt?
To this type of thinking we are devout
But only to this one kind and no more:
Only in the light of reasons we sprout.
And now we know what it’s all about.
The passion and war that we abhor.
Can there be a shadow of a doubt?
This method of logic we can’t do without.
But it’s been around for ages in lore
Only in the light of reasons we sprout.
This is the life we complain about.
Strangely the one we explore yet ignore.
Can there be a shadow of a doubt?
Before we can grasp it, we want out
Due to the complexities of logic. For
Only in the light of reasons we sprout
Can there be a shadow of a doubt.
