The Eccentricity

The Eccentricity

P K Routray

Greece is the country of the great Alexander

Europe and Asia, who then could conquer.

Greece is the land of great philosophers

Socrates, Aristotle ,Plato are the world all time leaders.

Greece is the land of Pythagoras and Euclid

whose mathematical formulae everybody reads as child.

Greece the land of Homer the Iliad and Odyssey creator.

Greece is the land of Archimedes, the law of buoyancy inverter.

Greece is the land of Hippocrates the medicine pioneer.

In all fields, Greece could once produce leaders to take it to fore.

Greece is now in bankruptcy and cannot repay the burden of loan

because of denial mainly to austerity by the citizens, the burden has grown.

Eccentricity is exhibited generally by ancient Greeks even by their greats.

An example is lack of logical option that could not save the life of Socrates.

To Socrates’ query as to whether to run away or die drinking poison,

his disciples failed to prove out of them running away was better option.

Their Archmedes ran naked in the town before hundreds of public

that to from a bath tub proving that great people are eccentric.

The eccentric philosophy of Greek people seems today

as to lessen the burden of loan still the austerity they deny.

The new philosophy they perhaps want to experiment

forget tomorrow, live for today with luxury and merriment.

Greeks think great and something new in all fields of existence

their  ancestors’ showings in all fields of life are true evidences.

The rest of the world takes time to understand their invention

till then pray the rest to help Greece to tide over their crisis in unison.
