Bowed Silence

Looking at

A life only of reason and undercare’s shadow,

registers as a pleasant life and wisdom meadow.

The subtle “truths” of science and factual fights,

crammed together in humanity’s sights.

Religion screams having proffered itself supreme;

“our beliefs are facts!” even if science proves their claims lean.

Which one do you pick? What will you bite?

Then all of your values and life will take flight.

It will look like healing, it will be so appealing,

until your obituaries rite.
