New: Poem: Reflection

Author: Jin Katkin

Codes: TOS, K/S (oh, wait, that should go without saying on this list, maybe?), SONNET

Disclaimer: Paramount owns everything of importance, but they wouldn't want this, since it's not a cash cow.

Summation: Kirk is being too cooperative about the court-martial.

Reflection
by Jin Katkin

Never was there a time in which I doubted
The elders whom I held in high esteem.
For they have told me time and time on end:
Hold logic and be logical indeed.

Time passes, and events have forced a change;
My answer lies not at home, nor on Earth.
The accuracy of my thoughts has waned—
Can logic be the causing of this dearth?

To save my life, is that a crime worth jail?
To deviate and save a friend, so wrong?
Your pride forbids my help, defense and bail
Illegal, yes, but t’hy’la, I am strong.

Would you sigh gently into that good night,
Who won against the dying of my light?
