I Think Kant Is True

If the world is not what it looks like,
Rather an entity of our own mold,
How can I only adhere to my own view?
Therefore I think Kant is true.

How one is in grief, other in delight,
I am skeptic whether molds are alike.
The sage could see it through.
Therefore I think Kant is true.

I could have consoled you,
You could have consoled me,
Only if we had got a clue.
Therefore I think Kant is true.

Hello Sandeep ! You’ve given a nice short summary of Kant here. The world is always in juxtaposition & change ~ I liked how you described it. This is most important line in poem : “ How can I only adhere to my own view?” ThkU for sharing. Sending blessings for this year., Ghairo

Thank you so much Ghairo. Your comment is so important for me. I am usually surrounded by self doubt to the extent that whether my poems are even poems or not. Comment from established poet like you is perhaps the best thing that happens to me and it makes my day.
