It’s World Philosophy Day today so here’s a poem in celebration of that.

Nihilism Means Nothing to Me

Hegel, when you left me,
you put me through the mill.
I kant think clearly anymore –
your marx are on me still.

The hobbestacles are everywhere.
Unlocke your door and be my guide.
Life is dull when you’re not arendt,
I nietzsche by my side.

You said I bourdieu senseless.
You claimed I drove you nuts.
But I adorno other –
My head spinoza much

The rawls of love I just don’t get,
I don’t know where to sartre.
I plato win but always lose –
come back, exhume my heartre.
