Do you live in an ossuary
Of old ideas? Do you play,
Or do you lie with those we bury?
To play with Plato brings perception--
Accepting Aristotle full,
Unquestioning brings mere deception
Of understanding--it's its cull.
But challenge all the thinkers you
Encounter--even ancients bring
Insights--and challenge poets, too,
For there’s always new songs to sing.
Flesh out the bones of mankind's past
And grow in wisdom's sunlit day--
For that is how your mind will last.
What questions will you ask today?
