THE ABUSED

The Death of Socrates, 1787
Jacques-Louis David (French, 1748–1825)
Catharine Lorillard Wolfe Collection, Wolfe Fund, 1931 (31.45)


I am in fact a dreaming slave
I built my prison around me
I thought I was the doorkeeper
I was wrong 
A bunch of opportunists 
were enjoying my innocence
My urge for excellence
became the tool for their contentment
I have been unwillingly a cornerstone 
in a house of abusers
So now, they are in charge
and I am the abused, the disgraced
I am a Greek intellectual
