JUST NAMES - Historical figures - June contest

Poem Body

Einstein and Pufendorf
Grotius and Baudelaire
those names and others
that make us laugh
but why
'tis they who changed
the clocks of human minds
rewound their inner thoughts
turned their routines into
something else
saw anew the mundane lot
gave us in many ways
a different plot

How great to have you back with your lovely post. Really good to read you again dear. I want to wish you the best and just draw your attention that you have to choose the contest labled "historical figures"
Again looking for more from your pen dear.

My 'names' for huge impact on our being and consciousness, and part of the assassination of god, are-
Einstein, Darwin, Freud and Marx.
