Allegory of the Cave Sonnet


There is no light,
There is no day,
Only the night,
No chance to get away.

Forced to live in a cave,
Bounded by shackles and fear,
Each man a slave,
There they stay year by year.

Until one man decides to strive,
To escape the false reality,
He found himself alive,
With new knowledge and vitality.

The rest, without any wisdom,
Are stuck to live without freedom.

  6. This is a fantastic sonnet. One of the best sonnet's I have ever had the privilege to read. Not only was their great content, but the way the sonnet just flows together makes for an interesting read. The rhyming was excellent, but simplistic as well.
