Plato hypothesized, Aristotle attended
Copernicus searched, Hippocrates mended
Dante’s hell, Augustine’s empyrean
Descartes dissertated, Machiavelli the means
Milton lost paradise, Homer “rode” boat
Shakespeare took stock, brilliantly wrote
Locke spoke rights, Rousseau too
Darwin found man, Freud undid the glue
Sampling of great minds, today’s leaders seemed drugged
And what of Atlas?…he’s merely shrugged
