[SPOKEN WORDS] The Mysterious Cave of Plato by Rector Goodness Nimkin

By Unknown - Monday, April 09, 2018

The Poem Titled: The cave of Plato by Rector Goodness (Aluta Rector) is coined from the mystery of Prisioners in a Cave who failed to see the truth about reality even when they had the chance to leave the cave.


Prisioners bound by chains in a cave for a very long time. One of them managed to escape and was marvelled by the beauty of nature. On his return to share the goodnews to his fellow prisioners, he was threatened to be killed. They rather remain in the cave than going to a false destination.

In the poem, the poet tries to elucidate his country men, fellows and humanity to abscond from things of no benefits coupled with the tragic happenings and neglects in the country and face the reality with adequate measures to do the needful.

THE CAVE OF PLATO

Through shallow mindsDarkened like sootThe sun ceased to shineIn the cave of plato
Shivering shadowsClothed in greedEndless darkness from withinIn the cave of plato
Eyes and sensesSoaked in blindnessDrenched with fearIn the cave of Plato
Fierce resistanceBehold the saviourNeglegence they stuck toIn the cave of plato
One by oneBlood spilledThroats slitIn the cave of plato
