Anicius Boethius
'Consolation Philosophy'
And with it
The prophecy
Your fate
Is your making
In a time
Of autocracy
Boethius the wise
One who answered
All questions
A time when He spoke
But barely took actions
Does God control me
Or merely observe
Am I of myself
Or am I to serve
What making of man
Provide good and evil
Will time yield the answer
Or be it medieval
I can't see the light
But can we see now
The thinker in jail
Did all to show how
A torch that he passed
In thought ever-lit
We must pass it down
To all benefit
