Socrates was given a route to escape. He drank the hemlock instead because he defended the rule of law and the supremacy of the state. So say you? Interesting poem! Best, Thomas

Well, you've got the history spot on, Thomas. Me, I take poetic license. Thanks for your comment, and have a nice evening. ~ Gershon
