I've seen enough of wealth to know <br />Its energy can go for show <br />That leaves the soul quite hollow. <br /> <br />Socrates gave us wise advice, <br />Its cost to him his earthly life, <br />That cared infinitely more for the integrity of the quest <br />Than the immortality he gained in the minds of many. <br /> <br />Soc says we have a compass for the strife <br />Inclusive of the fact we can not deify the wife <br />Or some lesser God as we wage the noble struggle <br />To know who we truly are <br />And then be true.<br /><br />Bill Grace<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/leo-rockas-touch-three-decades-plus/
