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
