A modern philosopher exiled from Athens
Ponders and pines it ever since
Reminiscing his life, before evanescence
Wonders what crime was committed
Almost four decades later, "Did what to deserve?"
In retrospect, "Why must I hurt?"
"I swear I was destined, was destined for greatness"
"But reluctant the gods are to give"

So he passed his knowledge onto me
Along with the words: "Carry forth my legacy"
"I was cast 'to darkness too early"
"With ferns and orchids; confinement, solitary"
Now I pass his knowledge onto you
Like Aristotle, received from Plato the truth
To the past, my homage paid in full
Dear Aristotle, please, never forget these roots

This sentimental story about Socrates
Brought to me by persons from Greece
Might think, "Well, who am I; why allowed to be free?"
"While others cry, and long to be"
Nearly two decades Pinky, I don't think I've changed
Not gonna lie, might always stay
Though our teachings align, "not good enough" remains
Novelty tries, shit gets in the way

Yet, he passed his knowledge onto me
Along with the words: "Long, long live this dynasty"
"I was cast 'to darkness too early"
"Don't let crown shyness seperate you from me"
Now I pass his knowledge onto you
Like Aristotle, received from Plato the truth
To the past, my homage paid in full
Dear Aristotle, please, never forget these roots

Thank you for engaging with this piece. It was the first one I wrote, before I even knew it would become part of a larger project. I wrote it after finding out a teacher of mine had gotten very sick - so Dynasty became, in many ways, an ode to their memory.
This is my first author's note, should I delete it or keep adding lore and context to the pieces on FIEFDOM FALL?
