Allegory of the Cave (Sonnet)

Plates allegory of the cave,
We are a people who only know what we see.
A society who doesn't see the reality that save,
Those who only shadows plea.

The prisoners represent ignorance, unable to accept reality,
The sun represents the truth we long for but don't know.
But learn to accept yourself as a principality,
We are still learning how to live your life to flow.

Intellect confusion is unseen by most,
These shackles in these prisoners are things that hold us back from true reality.
If the many we boast,
In a word full of mentality and brutality.

It's up to you to decide if you want to follow the shadows.
But know, just know, that those shadows can be shallow.
