The Voice of Reason

It isn’t the voice of Aristotle, Plato, Shakespeare or Anton Chekhov riding down red square. It isn’t the voice of Adolf Hitler rumbling underground or Dwight D. Eisenhower building construction in the town. It is not the voice of Woodrow Wilson, Ron De Santis, Ragan or Trump shouting from the podium. It is not the voice of Barack Obama, King Charles the III, Hillary Clinton, Theresa May, Nicola Sturgeon, Hallie Jackson, or policeman Righty Righty, running around the town on his European motorbike issuing traffic tickets from left to right. It is the voice of reason crying out from the slump. It is the voice the you hardly hear and it is a voice that you hardly can bear. The morning whispers and the evening shouters speed through the town shouting out a message where destiny is bound and Greek philanthropist with money to spear rebuild the culture to reestablish the age of reasoning. But not too many people embrace it. It’s contextual and it’s deep, and it put the paparazzi to sleep in a cage beneath the ground constructed with a long corridor stretching across six countries border and the center of the post is about to explode it’s the voice of reason baked in a can waiting for the conscious one to settle the squirms. I don’t know what you are hearing and what you are currently sharing, you can either reason with sense or you can sleep with cats, dogs and lions in the den. The tiger and the baboon are waiting for you and Giraffe with its long neck is watching you but the voice of reason is listening to you. There are some sixteen century markings on the Vatican chart and it is written in tiny markings, you have use a magnifying glass to read them, it is the voice of reason speaking to you and it is the voice of reason telling you what to do. Reason with the voice; try to understand it and you will know which way to roll the dice. The voice of reason does not lie; It is the voice of reason on which you must rely.
