Canceled Socrates

Socrates, he liked to tease,
things did not end well, though.
Athens, not that hard to please
but the man -- said Plato,
kept accusing, criticizing
so no wonder, ostracizing
wasn't thought an option.
Sentenced for corruption,
he's the man they loved to hate.

Some just cannot stand debate.
