Ode To Philosophy Poem by Okoronkwo Jonathan Jackson

Ode To Philosophy



From thy slumber awake, Oh Queen of the Thinkers' varsity!
Come ring the powers of thy reason in the puzzle of reality,
And from us remove, that dogmatic lunacy;
That gives us no clear stance in the society.

See how we go in delusion of our theory,
To you we no longer show loyalty;
And so in vexation you left us to our insensibility
Allowing us a pinch of reasoning falsifity.

Come with that wisdom of thy magnanimity.
Unto us restore that knowledge of curiosity for good utility-
When to no chance we shall grant to the opportunity,
Which unto us shall come; and so never to play in futility.

At thy wisdom doth others stand in humility;
But Lo! Thy prophets are drawn deep in carnality,
Loosing the sense of their spirituality,
Thereby making thee a look unto thy subjects, a jesty.

Await no more for them to arise from their drunken stupidity.
Come in thy capability and vivaciousity,
And unto thyself new prophets breed to declare thy prophecy
That the universe may fall back trembling at the feet of thy temerity.

When thou reason, theologians cry for liberty,
If thou think, scientist plead guilty.
Now you sleep, they all claim authority
In place of thy pragmatic sovereignty.

To the thinking you justify, you bring to unity.
To the one you detest, no one questions your supremacy.
Why then the sudden coldness of thy ability,
That you are laughed upon in this age of moral incompetency.

Come with thy glorious effrontery,
And the path of good restore with thy efficacious morality;
For wild men have gone with the creation of scientific technology:
And destruction they wrath, leaving the world in absurdity.

Awake! And from the heart of men remove, that scientific abnormality.
Which so good a universe by you brought to a harmony,
Now in endless hatred and immorality
Make. Leaving off thy stipulations of good which from the beginning was thy affirmity.
