yet there is the need for such a being
someone who dedicates his life
entirely to mastering as much knowledge as possible
and to derive from this knowledge
as much wisdom as possible
we usually call those people philosophers
after the greek tradition of Socrates
the concept of the philosopher king from plato
as the supreme intellectual authority of society
who would decide how everything would be organized
and would even grant deception privileges
for his guardians is really interesting
what else are we supposed to do
when we find an intellect so massive
bent on benign goals
for Aristotle says evil is merely ignorance
so no one truly knowledgeable could possibly be evil
when we find such recluse geniuses
we promptly put the government upon their shoulders
for there is simply no one better
all the crazy shit we do on the daily
is but aimless if we don't have
a director's plan
and architect's blueprint
someone in charge
who knows what they are doing
and have a direction for us to go
who do you know has such master plans
never met such people
but I know they are there
society couldn't possibly go on without you
so I love you
and I want to be like you
