Philosopher’s High

After a few glasses

On the rocks

When fire after spreading

From throat to the paunch

Reaches the brain

Igniting strange thoughts

Instantly all efforts and toil

And all that’s gained

Earned in life

Starts looking dull

Trivial and waste

For the philosophers great

Asleep till now

Start raising their voice

Inflamed by the high
