Dominic Giovanni's Poetry

Call me Dom Giovanni. I am an Irish Italian poet, originally from Scotland and Ireland. I do not wish to trouble my readers with embellished or self-promoted details about myself. In poetry and writing, directness and simplicity are more preferable than exaggerated statements of self. Please read the words. My duty is to the words.

Is Anyone Wiser Than Socrates?

Is Anyone Wiser Than Socrates?

"Is anyone wiser than Socrates?" asked Chairephon.
Socrates was not happy with the answer
Made by the oracle at Delphi.
In fact, Socrates was not pleased,
The oracle had lied,
Saying, "No one was wiser than Socrates."
