Moral Truth

Simple shapes, even,
Have such eccentricities
That it would take an Engineer
To understand why they work.
I don't see why moral truth is any different.

Asking someone to reinvent moral philosophy,---
Which ancients had only barely grasped,
Men more brilliant than Einstein,---
Is like telling a grade school student
Whose highest math is long division
To discover the circumference of an ellipse.
And not only so, to reinvent it
Without any prior knowledge or schooling
In the subject. To essentially rediscover Calculus.
And especially, to blatantly
Disregard the ancients' discoveries.
Not only would the modern man disregard Euclid,
He would outright deny that Euclid ever found truth.
