Farewell to you, the master of wisdom
The wisest man Ive ever known
Was an honor to be learning from you
The strongest teacher of virtue
Farewell to you the elder, the decent
Death was your only choice
You did make your stand, refused to repent
And took your own life with your own hand
All I know is that I know nothing
I'm the apprentice
Clanging words in callow minds
Sprouted seeds of morality
Taught and counselled the young to be wise
The reason why he was to blame
All I know is that I know nothing
I'm the apprentice
Hemlock in the bowl,
The elder to swallow
Hemlock in this bowl
Pledging our health, we follow
An unexamined life is not worth living
[Socrates]
