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
