Socrates's Demise

"This is an outrage, an
Abomination", cries the man.
"Refusing to recognize the Gods
Recognized by the state, and how
Dare they accuse me of corrupting the youth!
Slave, retrieve the hemlock poison,
The drink of death, my fate.
Yes, bring it here to me.
Those of you who gather here in mourning
Watch as I taint my body, mouth, throat
With this ungodly substance"
