The Great Conversation

When spoken word
made its way to ink
wise men discussed
what we ought to do
and what was true
the great conversation began

for millennia
the conversation unfolded
with each new contribution
considered by all

now so many have access
to this great conversation
its there for all to know

so pick up a book
and grab your pen
the debate is not over
and never will it be

discover
what the great minds
have said to be
and add
your own thoughts
of what you see

when we know
this old debate
we can stand on
the shoulders of
greatness
