Socrates - August Penned Poems

He towers mightily over the people his claims were healing the mentally ill. To stay in his temple would cure all they believed him still. Hippocrates called it the Sacred Disease. Claiming epilepsy was a physiological syndrome soon doctors and scientists world wide, reasoned that crazy people were sick and kept alone. Socrates had hallucinations type A a voice would come and advised him what not to do. His followers were in awe of this phenomenon, the latter ones thought he was slightly cuckoo. The vision I see is of a large man, Ability to fall at any one time. With hand to ear listening to voices Acting out a mime. Penned 22 August 2015.
