Imagine a world, wise Plato once said
Where you were brought up in a cave instead
Paralyzed by heavy shackles and chains
Gazing one way for moving causes pain
A fire behind made shadows upon your wall
A false image of you, shackles and all
This dark world would be the one thought as true
Another reality seen by you
Then imagine you were brought to the light
Freed from the chains by help or by ones might
A world that you would struggle to accept
Possible only with a mind adept
What Plato wanted us to understand
How views can differ of the world at hand
