Dark of Unreason

It is not the sharpest sword
that makes the deepest wound,
Nor the new moon the darkest night;
Not even the damning words
of the harshest critic
can mute a voice!

There is no pain greater
no night darker  
no silence deafening
than when a man aims onto his own,
shuts his eyes - blinds the truth,
and accepts unreason as fate.
