Would my hill one day dwarf Mount Everest?
Go high above spiritual Himalaya
This is not the first time such craze
Proclamation has been made
Men have sold their all for dreams
Time has made fools of men
Yet the possibility remains until such time
The possibility remains hanging
Without a way of casting the wise aside
To honour greatness and mock stupidity
Dreams remain hanging, like an apple before fall
The last grain in the hourglass would tell
To make greatness of men it shall
Or show how foolish Plato was
Dreams remain hanging, like an apple before fall
The last grain in the hourglass would tell

Or show how foolish Plato was
Time definitely does make fools of men; but I would consider Plato to be a wise man. Lots to think about in your words.
ReplyDeleteEach couplet could stand alone with plenty to give one pause. Nicely done.
ReplyDeleteI like the "dreams remain hanging" couplet best.
