The Era Of Reason

What is there to say?
When unity succeeds,
When the disempowered,
Become empowered and vigorously energetic

Movements of freedom,
Democracy and liberalism,
Suffragists storming with rage,
Suffering the shadowed actions of human nature

Fighting for what they desire,
Even more embrace, sense and aspire,
For life, existence and reality,
Are no longer infused with a higher being

No, a new era has begun,
The starting line has been torn for a new race to be run
In the beginning there was magic,
But as man gained knowledge magic became science and science; reason
