The Harder Problem


The left hemisphere believes in God,

the right hemisphere does not

 

That physical split within the brain,

what we are and what we’re not

 

Temptation and judgment at war with themselves,

all battles inner fought

 

Confusion to reign, contradiction in charge

—a zero sum rehaut

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: January, 2020)
