Pure rationalisation For Cassidy Mask

narrative verse

 

Pure rationalisation

 

A fly has been annoying me.

Persistently and constantly.

My conscience bids me not to kill.

But damn it all I think I will.

 

That fly will bother me no more.

I killed with a single blow.

 

I had endured it patiently.

At least an hour maybe more

It pestered me insistently

 I had to even up the score

 

That fly will bother me no more.

I slew that fly intentionally.

 

It left me with no other course.

Perhaps in time I’ll feel remorse.

Though at the moment I feel pleased

That wretched fly is now deceased.

 

That fly will bother me no more

 though I’m afraid my conscience will.

 

Sometimes we sin because we choose

 although we know we should refuse

 and listen to our inner voice.

That bloody fly gave me no choice.

 

That fly will bother me no more

I killed it quite deliberately.

 

I know I sinned and must atone

The fly would not leave me alone.

The fly not I caused the offence.

I think my argument makes sense.

 

The fly will bother me no more

Its death was more than justified.
