Reason Doesn't Travel Well

 

A poem for Ramadan about the weaknesses of reason as compared to faith in a harsh environment:

 

Reason doesn't travel well
Across the desert sand.
Maybe it needs quince to quell
A hunger for command.
Do not think it will survive
A long and thirsty camel ride,
No nutrient near at hand.
