Life Needs Logic


I’m sitting in class

And it hits me.

I live on Logic,

It’s rationality

How I view every prospect

Or is it honesty

How I see every object

In reality

It’s the basis of every project, object, or prospect

Which I approach

 

I define myself,

I see through reason

My mentality developing

I begin to acquire meanin’

My ideas accumulate, enveloping

The truth, finding my opinion

 

This is me, my life

 As I press on realistically

I am faced with society

When will it all be put basically?

Faced with the flame of anxiety

How do we proceed graciously?

 

It’s simple

just meet Logic

We can drown in fantasy

Or observe the face of reality

Gloucester could not see

Lone like a Joshua Tree

We can learn from his fallacy

And avoid our own tragedy

 

My life needs Logic

What’s right? What’s wrong?

Come together and sing this song

Let’s make a difference

We don’t have long

 

This is how I will survive

I breathe my rationale

What’s the issue?

Our country’s royale

As the planet’s days insue

Capitalism has no morale

I ask, how is this true?

Painful like my root canal

 

Does a race deserve privilege?

Logic whispers the answer

But it’s rarely heard

The conflict grows like a cancer

Without reason, it won’t be cured

“I have no drugs, don’t shoot sir”

Innocent, still murdered

 

If we all befriend Logic

We can be prestigious

Our life wouldn’t be meaningless

There’s no need to be litigious

Just don’t be feelingless

 

I’m perplexed by social struggle

My friend, genuine and kind

Gets his grades religiously

Employing his strong mind

Even though he works rigorously

He is his still confined

By those criticizing maliciously

For his choice to find

Another man with his sexuality

 

Our life needs Logic

What’s right? What’s wrong?

Come together and sing this song

Let’s make a difference

We don’t have long

 

Why not be realistic?

Prejudice is only a cloud

The reason we miss the truth

We do not see through the shroud

Futures fate is held by youth

For we are the capable crowd

Our insight is bulletproof

 

It is not just my life

Which depends on Logic

But the prosperity of all

Think about this topic

Don’t let our issues snowball

Life needs logic.
