I decided to try my hand at a philosophical poem with intent to use it as my signature. Turns out its too long so i thought someone should read it. if there's a way to make it fit, i would love to see it. thanks and i hope someone enjoys it. Oh also without an understanding of Ludwig Wittgenstein's beetle in a box, this will not make any sense.
My beetle in a box almost all would say,
may be described consistently with rigor in every way.
With concepts invented to describe it, it may seem,
you can almost see it, but it is a dream.
I fear I may be the only one to think,
its futile to describe in meanings of which will never be in sync.
Do not assume, define it now so that future talks,
will not be as fruitless as our beetles in their box.

@Doubt doubt,
Thanks to those that like this. maybe i should try another longer one.
@Doubt doubt,
Every morning it is the same old thing
I wake up, make up, and decide to begin
With box in hand and beetle safe inside
I wish to tell everyone about his ride
But I always show up without my friend
The poverty of philosophy til the end
@jack phil,
How fruitful or rich is a dung beetle?
Is a dung beetles box his dung?
