Analysis of Goddess of reason
Robert Rittel 1960 (Koblenz)
Absolute gorgeous pursuit
keep everybody with stories mute
continual chasing the impossible
chronic fatigue bible
her rope of boundaries
and laces of uncertainties
eclipse the human mind
scientific proof that bind
facts that loose its value
pale truth why one can do
voluptuous discrimination
righteous identity gestation
blindfolded juristic motive
power made exploitive
reasons life tragedy
rooted in conventionality
test to withstand her sweet lure
real and false knowing for sure
