Daily missive for Tuesday the 11th of December.

Purpose me
Subscribe to my belief
In the gift of reason
As fulfilment of
An earthly promise
To develop an interest
In purposeful solutions
Imagine a truth
With little need of sacrifice
Where the fact
Of its existence
Is strong enough
To withstand a moment’s doubt
As intellectual pursuit
Becomes a race
For all to run
Ownership of knowledge
A free for all
With no rhetorical exclusions
To raise the bar
Of sanctity
Beyond the reach
Of ordinary souls
There would be satisfaction
In the rhyming
Of such reason
To the timing
Of its conclusion
As a fulfilment of
Any given purpose
Eventually determined
By the strength
Of its innate desire
To succeed.
