Socrates

like a whimsical lyric I pay homage to the most profound statement philosophy asks of us.

I love the irony of dark humor.

Despise the pettiness of foul rumor.

Know thyself....

Know thyself?
Part philosophical, part scientific, but, most importantly, it is
practical advice.

Thank you Rew for your comment on this poem. I totally forgot about this piece. Though I do believe wholeheartedly in its message. That old great philosopher Socrates sure was right about that pearl of wisdom.

A trite young man who grew to example irony as humour wrapped in shadows! Socrates also wrote: Remember - what is unbecoming to do is also unbecoming to think of..

Thank you for this wonderful review. It literally made me smile. You truly live up to the Joy portion in your name.
