Wise Old Owl

"The Owl of Minerva takes flight before night is about to fall" - Hegel No charlatan - this Hegel character His words bespoke clarity and change Seeing the world through a fine perception He laid our history before us Great creativity is coming to the U.S. Before it falls reach out for the brass ring Watch the dance with clear eyes Don't weep UNDERSTAND!

Interesting write! Heard about Hegel being an idealist, is that right? Which is great, I'm one of those too. :) Your poem makes me want to read and learn more about him. Thanks for sharing. Yours in poetry, Caroline.
