The Socrates Dream

The Dreamer says -

One life is not enough
To quench that all consuming fire
To know

Why people suffer

Why children die hungry
To feel everybody's pain ...


One Life is not enough
To love with all one's heart
To meet the earth's rulers....
To climb the mountains..
To walk the the valleys



One Life is not enough..
To sigh over the pyramids
To walk beside the Kings
To whisper endearments..
To gaze at the ocean


Yes ..One life is too short
To explore my own heart
To know myself and discover the Socrates' dream....
"Know Thyself"
