Pigs Would Fly if Their Sties Were Noble
Poor Socrates. He thought that if the young
Were wrapped in images of beauty, they
Would take good in and then could climb each rung
Of rightness. Lovelinesses would convey
Them up and straight to healthiness of soul.
Their hearts would be hygienic as the folk
Who live in wholesome climes and who can stroll
Through lovely breezes that he thought evoke
A sturdy righteousness. So, poets who
Are wise will stick to showing only good
And beauty. These are guidelines that he drew.
This is what that simpleton understood.
..He did not seem to know that kids want sly
….Pigheadednesss, not beauty that floats high.
