I respect
the laws thus I will not flee
Unexamined
lives are not worth living for me
Since the
time of departure has almost arrived
Could
someone please help me lead out my wife?
And yes I
did write a hymn
Along with poetry
based on Aesop’s Fables, yes my mind is stable
And I don’t
think the soul will be gone
When it’s freed
from this coil created by the gods
Maybe I can
prove that:
The soul is
immortal to destroy your dread.
Eternal
psyches contrast bodies to be shed
And how
else can we explain
The
knowledge we recollect
And yes I
see
You don’t
wish to speak up to deject
But if you
dislike the points I make that much;
Present
your concerns; Please gnothi seauton
I believe
them though I have yet to shown them
So quit
worrying and gnothi seauton
Now we see
the soul resemble what’s divine
And the
body something approaching demise
And even
after leaving this body so frail
The
invisible soul must survive the veil
The sun is
setting, so here’s my final proof:
The soul is
immortal, since it is what causes life
And thus it
is a form,
And won’t
become its opposite;
And yes I
see
It pains
you to see me take this shot
Please
don’t dislike the way I chose that much;
Stop your
tears; teleiton alypos.
Oh Crito,
we owe a cock
To
Asclepius – don’t forget to pay the debt.
