The World Is A Barren Place

The world is not abundant

Our existence is in empty space

We only have ourselves

Goal in living is to reproduce

And explore the world that we exist in

And create something new

When we dance or sing

We fly higher closer to God 

Apology of Socrates

"I am almost ashamed to speak of this, but still I must say that there is hardly a person present who would not have talked better about their poetry than they did themselves. That showed me in an instant that not by wisdom do poets write poetry, but by a sort of genius and inspiration; they are like diviners or soothsayers who also say many fine things, but do not understand the meaning of them."
