Philosophy Giants

Philosophy Giants  

So here we are motley crew of Facebook writers
We rattle our cages spew our anger on the Persian rug-
In our imagination- but, in reality, spew against the wall
Of an Indian restaurant staying open late 
 Catching any passing trade. 
We think we are so clever expressing words with flourish
While we are on dimly referring to Nietzsche, a man
So scrupulous he thought truth was his domain, and we
Refer to this man from the safety of our democracy.
The books we read,
pulling us in the different direction
 seeking our ear till we think they speak the truth 
“Let God be dead” in the philosopher’s day so daring.
Philosophy is only needed for those who can`t let 
Go, the end of life means nothingness.
