Did Socrates die

Did Socrates die, I tell you, no,

Mortal, became immortal, you see

Death kills the coward,

Breath is no sign of life, you see.

Count not your life in-breath you breathe,

Count the principles, on which you stand,

Learn to speak up for the truth,

If you are quiet who would stand.

You have no divine origin,

Socrates proclaimed the truth,

King got so ferocious,

Socrates' life he took.

Yet the king is forgotten,

Socrates still lives,

Truth lives forever,

Not the mean kings.

R. A. Jacob
