the lantern burns
the midnight oil
searching for an honest man
may as well extinguish the sun
or sleep in a jar
in the busy market place.
These words spoken:
action is a loud mouth
that manifests humility
it animates a demagogue
to a platform higher
than the outspoken pedagogue
a life of morals
inspires a generation
a slumber in a jar
lays bare the ills of wealth
not a fat bellied remark
on a thinning audience
so i walk to sinope
to sleep in a jar
and in the busy market place,
fuel the lantern once more.
I write from my heart, as an amateur poet whose love for math, philosophy and knowledge guides my pen and trickles down to the essence of the poems therein. I love engaging with you: for criticism, please feel free to write your thoughts on the poems or ideas you have or even give suggestions.
