In Peril Is The Spring Poem by dimitrios galanis
In Peril Is The Spring
In peril is the Spring.
In between the arrows omenslayers shot
smiting and tearing persistently the air
swallows have not still dared fly,
so that you doubt whether Spring is to come.
As far as the wildflowers announcing it already present,
forget them, they assure, under the craze of climate anomaly.
In real peril, as you see, Cassandras Spring predict.
It is going to loose its turn
in the circle of seasonal rotation.
But, do not worry for the contretemps,
about summer nothing yet said.
It is indeed an age of 'un-reason' where logical arguments are gradually losing their prominence to hysterical mass opinions based on nothing at all.. On my part, I believe, we need to bring back the ancient practice of teaching everyone philosophies.. Rhetoric, logic, ethics, and (maybe) even sophism.. All need to be taught.. All of us know nothing, but then very few would be like Socrates - to calim that indeed I know nothing... Thanks for sharing Dimitrios..
You are right Souren.I do support the same opinion.But amid our world where profit is regarded the most, who could effectivelly promote the idea! In some States, as in Swededthey have brought back here and there the humanistic studies.May other States do the same.Thanks for having noticed it.
No reasonable argument gets through to the average man. What is said is what wants to be heard
Τhat is why demagogie and laicism will always prevail.Evev in ancient Athenae and the other democracies where by political orations the demos, the public, having to be persuaded, ...it was easier to be persuaded by a beautiful oration than by arguments meaning painful acts and decisions.///This was the reason the sophists, wise men, cultivated the art of speaking, of addressing the assembly.Through this art they succeeded to cultivate other arts too where the the text plays the great role, as in drama, in history, in laws, Everything in the world has its good and bad side.....sear Kelly.
If spring is hope I have almost given up on it. And summer, which I associate with fertility, is in great doubt. I see that your poem fits all political pomposity but it especially conjures in me the ridiculous notion in my country that climate change is not real. Indeed when spring disappears so also does hope.
Oh, yes, In US two persons, Ramsfeld-Tseny, persuaded a whole nation to declare war against Irak for reasons not existing, for false ones.., democracies must education people how they fo not fall victims of the deceits.

Which one, according to Socrates, from the five states is the best? - we cannot tell; for they all emerge from each other, like a continuous circle, like the seasons of the year; and none is perfect; probably just that one, in which ''one is king of himself''.
