Rejecting Reason
        Essay 18
     
    
    
    
   
      They told me reason was cold,
          But it was the only warmth that didn’t lie.
          So why do they run from it?
          Why do they fear the mirror
          That doesn’t flatter,
          But reflects what’s real?
          I watched them choose comfort over clarity,
          And call it faith.
          But I call it fear.
