Karl Marx House In Trier

Karl Marx house in Trier.

Know you where it is,
Abode of wisdom today we live,
Renown for industrial change?
Labour unite...still remember the say?

Man! It is a place to be,
Athenaeum of global change,
Rare to find in somewhere else,
X-rays of  wars on man and growth.

Herein philosophy lived,
On the table under the tree he wrote,
Uniform of the legend intact in’robe, 
Spoons and forks that fed the brain,
Excellent works of yester years.

In the anthology photos speak;
No to exploitation is all they say.

This environment beauty to behold,
Roman empire relics here and there;
In Karl Marx house in Trier,
Eyes have many to learn:
Respectable mount of thought.

I wish I knew more about this man. I think he had some good ideas that got messed up by mankind. It would be an interesting place to visit! And I can tell by your poem's descriptiveness that you have been there

The X-line had to be the most difficult line to put in there. All the pieces of the acrostic puzzle fit together nicely.

I feel that you are saying that our world has taken on some of Karl Marx's theories and they are in full use globally or am I wrong..This might be a real place on which you based the work though..Thanks for the visit to my place..Sara

This is a brilliant write my friend! I have never seen his place, no pictures of it or anything! It sounds like I'm missing out in seeing something fascinating and spectacular, now I was to see it in real life...you made me want to go see it! I love a good sitting place beneath a tree to write poetry! I have my spots where I write too! I surelu enjoyed reading this amazing poem here this evening! What a fabulous piece KAYOD5! Great Work!!
