Last Request

So, what’s been the point of this? God only knows.  
That's an expression of faith, wrapped in skeptical clothes,
God only knowing might fill one with doubt, 
but read some of Socrates.  Hear the man out.  
But care to the context, though others may scoff.  
No doubt, he once certainly ticked people off, 
and left little else but a hearsay bequest.  
Recall what he asked for, his final request.
And that's all I'm asking, no more and no less, on 
the chance you could hear this personal confession.
