Aristotle’s Tears – Plato’s Cheers



Aristotle’s Tears – Plato’s Cheers

Political is the fifth hammer of the philosophical table
One step before the aesthetical rabble
Yet it’s the reality of life, so gives happiness or strife
The disliked step-child of Queen Dido, the abandoned wife

So shunned is this, it’s a suicidal bent
Rather seek comfort and ease where there’s no need to think
But you fool yourself for the daggers are always out
After shredding your back you pay with blood, the callous political lout

They cry into painting pictures and telling stories
Find self-pity in victimhood and sacrificial glories
But worst of all believe that change is a futile reach
Fear is the self-held weapon that makes the political wretch

Is this chance or your double helix genetics?
Where’s education or mind defeated and, substance does its’ tricks?
The fight for logic to win over the collective mind
To defeat the fear to take that unknown step again to raise all humankind
