Irrational

Irrationally speaking

I speak irrationally, seeking,

Ease to appease my mind

Patience gradually decreasing.

Weeping.

Not understood

But I, understand

Motives need rationalization,

But rationale was never in Allah’s plan.

My world revolves around confusion

It is the means by which progress is made

The reasonable man lays stagnant

I’m unreasonable, so I’ll lead the way.

I’ve left the compliance of reality

Really I expect none to relate,

Surround by those with there own menu

I will never eat off anyone's esle plate.

I am wrong

Am I wrong

Or just wronged

I shall never make sense to the world

Rationality is an imprisonment

I am the irrational from which progress shall unfurl.
