Tis not a cavern nestled in a now-forgotten planet,
Nor is it a hideaway for a lovable yellow dog;
But tis a concept contrived in the mind of a genius;
Ideas that hold true yet even today, years beyond their birth.
What is it, pray tell this new generation?
A generation lost in technology;
Yet this proves the point that Plato
Presented all that time ago.

One is given freedom,
Enlightened to the troubles and problems of this world;
Yet he is soon cast out,
Left alone to his own devices and rejected.

He sees the looming doom of his fellow sojourners and comrades,
Yet when he leaves to discover more,
He returns to find they despise him,
Ignore his claims; send him idling, never to return home again.

As are Christians today:
One soul may see the truth:
Blinders fall from their eyes;
Yet those around him scorn.

None accept the Truth,
But rather see Darkness;
Better the cold comfort,
Than the bright unknown.

Poor souls who see it and share,
Yet poorer still those who see it not, and reject those who warn;
Be it not if they be right,
For those who die in darkness, stay in darkness and solitude.
