Diogenes In Search

Diogenes holds a lantern Hypnotized- the faint light Eyes search all nooks and turn Desire in them makes them bright Drank no voda only lie and deception Hegemonized- lost- sick of hunger Pathologized- TRUTH the only medication Unconscious he is with thirst growing stronger But, egregious- incorrigible or glib It’s all he finds- the chronic liars The consummate and congenital lie lay down deep Inveterate they are unconscionable buyers He’s finished his search in Athens Hope’s alive! The hill thus flattens
