Plato's main ideas in Haiku

Plato

Shadows are all things
to those chained in the dark cave.
Sunlight waits outside.


from Baronett, Zen and Western Philosophy: Philosophers’ Ideas in Haiku

Problem is, there's so much more to the allegory of the cave.

Ofc, those that live within a metaphorical cave haven't been able to, much less, know they are there to be sought.

And the sentences dissolve into meaninglessness.
