Sometimes you just have to
toss in your Idealist hat,
drop the robes,
light the ring,
and beat the shit out of Reason.
It's time to clear the air,
ring the bell,
mop the blood and sweat, and send
them back to their corners and cut-men.
Those two will never get along.
Honesty, is lacing up.
She's ready to come out swinging.
