Lewis's Trilemma Poem by Barry Middleton

Lewis's Trilemma

Rating: 3.5


lunatic, liar, or lord
mad, bad, or god
fallacious argument

we are the sons of god
the suns of universe
all of us divine

yet we reveal duality
good, and evil
god, and devil

freedom is a choice
a life of selfishness
or goodly, godliness

our voice defines us
we are the sons of god
we are responsible
