A Reason...?
Minds to tear apart, sifted through,
mulling mechanisms engaged to ruminate,
implicate cause and effect...of what?
Continents ripped asunder, archaeological
digging machines, hands slit raw
for knowledge, some symbol...of when?
Depths plumbed, blood like champagne,
volatile fizzing endured to raise
ways of explaining life...of how?
Some logic sought for tragedy,
when straws are drawn, fragments,
sentiments, comprehending...of why?
All that remains, embrace love,
to grieve and keep the vestige of faith's ideal,
reveal in hope, one day...a reason...?
