Reasoning

Reasoning is evolutionarily quite new It wouldn't have helped in Krakau 
If you were a Jew It wouldn't have helped
If you were so brave As to question authority 
As to why you are a slave It wouldn't have helped
If you were a witch Not one tiny bit of hair 
Not even a stitch It wouldn't have helped 
If you were stuck in Katrina Waiting on some help
From somebody from FEMA It wouldn't have helped
If you were a Prisoner of War Or a Native American
Looking at those really big boats Sailing in towards the shore
It wouldn't have helped If you were an " I Have a Dreamer" 
Or simply a citizen that day In Nagasaki or Hiroshima

Yes reasoning this day I pray has surely evolved

For it is many the questions

That need to be solved
