Phyllis Babcock Poet Light Verse

Reasoning

Reason --what is the voice of reason
Somtimes called  common sense
But something has happened in today's time
common sense and reason could not be found
We searched as hard as anyone could search
We looked but could not see what was in front of us
We tried to figure it out but our minds could not absorb
For our brains refused to let reason and common sense exist
It forgot to do one minor little adjustment within itself
It forgot how to think and solve  minor problems
It depended on what it heard as truth
It forgot how to think and reason
It forgot how to think
It forgot.




The voice of reason
