REFLECTION

Can you see me?
Not the image but the substance
Can you tell me who I am?
Not the character portrayed but the role played

I can not see myself
The reflection is clear and the resemblance, striking
But is that who I am?

It goes beyond the surface
And believe me, I have dug very deep
There seems to be no end to the depth of my soul excavation

I evacuate my spirit
I bare my mind
Still I know! There must be something more

How long will I search within?
How long will it take for me to find me?
Can you see me?
Can you tell me who I am?

REASON

We believe when there are facts
Hard concrete facts, to look upon and analyze
We believe, if it is rational, sound and just
We believe because if we don’t
We may suffer the consequences
We believe in reason

We believe what we can’t see
We believe in spirits and mystery
Where there is no rationality
‘It is too absurd, these superstitions’
We believe, because the promise…
Though irrational, is also just
We believe that reason is not always rational
Then we don’t believe in reason

Though reason may differ
We believe, because we are a believing people
And our hope is in our belief and not reason
