Allegory of the Cave Sonnet

Can you see the light
The truth behind the shadows
At first it maybe bright
But then you see the meadows

It takes a special person
To venture down an unfamiliar path
For others their condition will worsen
Being continually trapped by societies wrath

They say ignorance is bliss
But that's a false hood
A half minded man should truly miss
Living in lies is simply no good

The moral of this story is find our own reality
Only then can you be completely free in your spirituality

  13. I thought it was entertaining and I noticed that the 'w' was missing from wrath... Was that on purpose? Just something I noticed while reading, but it was really a nice flow throughout the sonnet.

  14. I liked what I got from this sonnet. The idea that each person should find their own truth, and their own spirituality. Also, some really nice imagery.
