Philosephers baffle me. I'd like to be one.

I LIKE SOCRATES

I LIKE SOCRATES 04-17--11

 

I like Socrates.

I am not sure why I like Socrates...

I just know that I do.

 

I like Aristotle, but

not as much as I like Socrates,

for no reason that I know of.

I'm just stubborn that way.

 

I take an ignorant jump,

due to lack of information

to fairly judge my situation.

It is one against the other.

 

I believe Plato was just

as important as Aristotle.

I'm not sure why I think this,

but I believe it's true.

 

Aristotle, Plato, Socrates,

I can never remember the order

in which they influenced and

mentored each other.

 

This trouble is always given me

when I judge myself too harshly

The fact that I like Socrates

should give me a savant's reprieve.

 

But that would be a shame to me

If I did not want to know

the reason I love one of them

anymore than the other

when, really I hardly

know any of them at all.

Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
