Allegory of the Cave Sonnet

Stuck inside a cave
With no where else to look
But one of us was brave
And went beyond our nook

Still facing the dark
Still inside the gloom
One man to embark
Exceeding our tomb

No one tends to peek
Beyond what they can't see
Some turn the other cheek
But I do not agree

We need to be aware
Of what else dwells out there


"I tried."

  4. hahah I love the "I tried" at the bottom. The turn the other cheek of this sonnet is my favorite part, allusion to the bible and aalllll. Very smart, clever. Maybe sortof simple rhyming there but rhyming is difficult. We were not born eminem. :) Definitely relates to Allegory of the Cave, and definitely paints and clear picture for the reader.
