The Death Of Socrates
What reasoning has brought you to this place
where death destroys your gift of sanctity?
Before the fall of night, and in disgrace
yes, all those hating you, shall make it be;

they'll label you confused right to your end
corrupter of all teachers of the truth
convincing...

I am walking Athens with Socrates
And see the world through his eyes
Barefooted with white robe
Tied in a knot with linen rope
I follow him like a shadow
Starring at the faces of Athenians 
Who lived ago a couple of millennia 
I see Xantippe chasing chickens
And a bunch...

a self centered drunk
he was a scum and a skunk
the judge made sure his cell was ready...

Socrates
Would ask big questions as he pleased.
But when he was told to die,
It was his students who asked him why....

An eloquent stutterer he was,
whose anecdotes were luscious and true
he lived in the days of aesthetics,
but had no comeliness in size or stature;

His teachings were unadulterated and void of fallacy
Ipso facto he was condemned to the gallows,
he tasted of the legendary hemlock potion
And died before...

He towers mightily over the people
his claims were healing the mentally ill.
To stay in his temple would cure all
they believed him still.

Hippocrates called it the Sacred Disease.
Claiming epilepsy was a physiological syndrome
soon doctors and scientists world wide,
reasoned that crazy people were sick and kept alone.

The hemlock grove keeps haunting
trembles dare fade away

"Crito, we owe a cock to Asclepius.
Please, don't forget to pay the debt"

Those thou teach have greater reach
to poison of the day

these needles vein in vain
diepan, water fogs__
no holding off the pain
no holding out the pain...

I wonder if sage Socrates 
opined today
And said listen good people to 
what I have to say
Where would those people who 
are paid just to spin
Fit this sage controversial free 
thinker in

Or if Jesus Christ happened to 
show up unannounced 
And gently our greed and our...

Calm and candid in sagely guise,
A free man bold who paid truth's price;
Name forged vivid among the wise,
Did query cold, clear thought surprise;
Instruct the wit as questions hurl,
Demand the truth as logic frames.
See reason fit what thinking swirls,
Obsess clear proof beyond mind games;
Choice dares forfeit...

Now I know how he got his name....
He can put an electric dryer to shame!
Dryers eats socks,
Socrates does pilfer....

If I send him a bill 'fer
All my missing socks....
Would he sock me one?...
