Analysis of Aristotle’s corpus
our education very rarely taught us
anything of Aristotle’s corpus
logic was the aim of the Organon
a polymathic plane to find order in
Socrates of Athens
began, the western creed
by taking on the best
attest, to supersede
the genesis of Plato was sparked
by Socrates
Plato burned his poems and strived
for expertise
where his prose was silver Aristotle’s was of gold
let all the disquisitions one finds difference in; unfold
in modern days I look to sycophants who’ve been cajoled
by ignorant, but eloquent, conclusions that we’ve sold
the lexicon of noble men
well studied, higher grade
it’s humorous to see now how
societies decayed
so I can’t help belittle every
ace and accolade
comparing bones so brittle
to the greatest ever made.
