[€uroMeinke]

Perhaps it’s true that love is just
Hormones and the desire for sex
And pleasure

Perhaps it’s true that anger is just
That dump of adrenaline that makes you fight
Or run.

Perhaps it’s true that sadness is just
Withdrawal from those very substances
That make us feel good

Perhaps every choice we make
Is predetermined by our biochemical circumstances
A mere illusion of control

But as reasonable as all that is
I think it reasonable to presume
Otherwise.

I think it reasonable to assume
That we should be responsible
For the decisions we make

I think it reasonable to assume
That our sorrow sometimes shows our respect
of things and people missed

I think it reasonable to assume
That our anger sometimes shows our disgust
For great wrongs

I think it reasonable to assume
That our love sometimes betrays
Our very frailty and humanness.

Perhaps it's true and reasonable to assume
That sometimes logic exists
To prove our emotions true
