Man is rational

Rites and rituals, all out dated,
Are still followed, meticulously.
The worn out customs and practices
Are pursued systematically.
Obedience to dictums eats up
Sorrows from deaths in funerals.
The gain of knowledge over planets
Couldn’t shake one’s faith on planets’ roles.
Man is the most rational animal.
