Socrates illuminated the world <br />But didn’t, his wife. <br />Gandhi severed Indians shackles; <br />But didn’t, his wife’s. <br />Karl Marx fought for work force <br />But not for his maid. <br />Every light has a basal shade. <br />09.11.2004<br /><br />Rm.Shanmugam Chettiar.<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-basal-shade/
