This is a Philosophical Poem inspired by an ancient Philosopher.

When Socrates Spoke To Me

by Joel Pascua Bembo

 

Be mindful that you’re also a philosopher,

You’re life must be distinguished among others,

Make the search of truth be your main purpose,

Or else you will never know your worth.

 

Truth as it sounds good and pleasing,

A crucial and determinant of justice in living,

To this world full of chaos,

Full of strife and errors.

 

I speak to you sincerely,

That you may spread and share my philosophy,

If you’ve done this accordingly,

You’re preserving this world and its beauty.

 

Mark everyone with this,

Life behind truth is an unexamined life without worth,

Such life is full of erroneous,

And I don’t want humanity be a useless creatures.

 

Insist, I say to you,

Look for the truth that could lead you

And give you reasonable purpose and value

Such life is what I desire to every one of you.

I love the theme of your work. I can't ever imagine that Socrates could talk to me in such a philosophical manner. His philosophy is always inspiring. I like your work. Keep writing.
