SCIENCE
The mighty one
I like how
You dissect wonder
And free reason
Slit fear
To birth light
But I abhor
When your children
Wipes out civilization
By throttling
Sane voices
And you watch
Tears in your eyes
How wretchedly helpless
You are
You’re picking up pebbles
By that shore
Where Paced Buddha the mighty one
And the Nazarene spoke more

WOW! SO true! The image of both the inventiveness and the helplessness of science is breathtaking. Touches me.

l stated Sumana. I hope we learn through pebbles of wisdom rather than from civilization's failings.
ReplyDeleteScience powerful up to the point where it is no longer used for the good. Always a fly in the ointment....
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful poem, Sumana. Yes...... the standards seem to go out of their way to downplay the knowledge.
ReplyDeleteLoved the concluding lines very much-Poignant n meaningful. Lovely..
Science brings so much, but yet is helpless...creative piece!
ReplyDeleteNature is so beautiful and if science used wisely can do add wonders to it.
ReplyDeleteThis has a great sense of how science can start off in our hands and then once it leaves our control it's up to others what they do..and that isn't always good..well written and thought provoking poetry
