JUST NAMES - Historical figures - June contest

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

Love this, Ann.

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