Rationale

The child believed
Such conviction
Rationally
We provided the truth
He spoke to no one
For his protector
Was only imagined
A product of an immature mind
Still
He persisted
Relying on this other
Instead of his self
He spoke of his friends Law
How it protected him
Offered him guidance
Even when bloodied by enemies
Still he insisted
Oft he spoke of things fated
Yet prayed to his friend for aide
Hoping to change the way of things
He spoke of faith
Though he never trusted himself
Reasonable doubt escaped him
For all his advances
This child
Mankind
Is still but a simple
Unreasoning
Ape
