Broken Man

A broken man, A noble thought, To be broken by war, The suffering and hatered, Running deep, Like underground streams, To be broken by love, Shattered like bone, By the truth, Remove the blindfold, Burning bright, The sun is hidden, Like the truth, It hurts,

It's quite difficult for me to read these while listening to Wishbone Ash.
Do I notice just a hint of Plato in here?

Also I can see that only myself and Lunar have read this one. All I can suggest is that you spend time reading the works of others.
Have a nice day-see you tomorrow.

Pretentious twaddle. Giving you a nought seems like generosity...
