You learn more all the time
Yet still you know nothing
You are adored
By a crowd of the youth who no one else can here
Is that pill that the nurse gave you today
Hemlock given for your radical ways?
But hey you’ve got to take a chance
Because it’s the only way you can leave
And soon sleep overtakes you
And the youth move on to another mentor
And leave you in a stupor
In a way you want them to follow you again
But the first sleep you had in a week was kinda nice in a way
But you are still forced to stay
Then you realize you are the guy
Who’s lightly regarded in the World
And your real name is Bill
And life is boring and not a thrill
So you eat the meals they serve
And listen to them as they say
You are not Socrates and your wisdom is not widely known
You have been hallucinating and your brain is damaged
And you told your therapist that you were going to find hemlock
To end your pain
We are not miracle workers
But you are making progress
Because Socrates is Bill again
