The Infinte Wisdom of Euthyphro

Euthyphro

The only knowledge I possess

Is of how little I know

Even of how to think, to begin

To truly declare even one thing

In this impossible world to be true

 

Nietzsche has slain my God,

Descartes, rendered me blind

The world's very meaning

Has fallen from the heavens

Into the palms of my trembling hands

 

You could not fathom

How I envy you, wisest Euthyphro

To live without the burden

Of this sufficating

Socratic self doubt
