Who would have thought of pragmatism's recent origins
That the American's want to impress their thought on our previous century
would continue to carry such weight
That they take to task what they label dogmatic thought's
Based upon their unsaid assumptions
Of prior centuries, and their past philsophers
And within the same breath,
Would want for you to ignore their's.
that they make "rational" the want for more of the same
That their vested interest offer no change
Scraps from the Dinner table,
where the people have no seat
But for us, who believe in Prophets sent
We know that revolutionary zeal
Is when partnered with a true faith,
Not a zealots dream.
But is made of the people whose
Hearts have not been tarnished by covetous wealth
Nor hardered by trials, heaped high, heaped
That on any other would have broken our spines.
So fashioned us into champions, who would not let live the lie
For our hearts know only the giving
that we be for the people, and not those few
Who would frame the question, set the measure
And then allow an incremental movement
Token change
that never would a serious challenge make
But we will never bow before those few,
Nor that "rationalist" idea,
That Pramatist's lie.
That wants for you to ignore their hypocrisy.
Will condemn us no more,
To a life, more of the same.
For God enlivened us with a belief, sure.
That death calls to us
A return so looked for
But in the meantime we choose to live our lives so well
For the people
And not those so fell
Who have lost their own selves
END
InshaAllah to preface a new blog -
