PSEUDO-IMMORTALITY

PSEUDO-IMMORTALITY

BY

S. MAHESHKUMAR

What did Copernicus tell?
Sun is the centre of its system!
What did Galileo confirm?
The Earth orbits the Sun!
—
What did Newton postulate?
Earth has Gravitation!
What did Faraday experiment?
The link between Electricity & Magnetism!
—
What did Darwin deduce?
That Man has descended from the Apes!
What did Watson, Crick and Rosalind find?
That DNA preserves heredity!
—
What did Einstein generalize?
Gravitation and Relativity!
What did Heisenberg assert?
The Principle of Uncertainty!
—
... & so on.
—
With their discoveries and inventions
Scientists sleep in their graves satisfied
Of their Pseudo-Immortality
That their deeds would bestow them
—
Since Science is a trial & error
Hence are its outputs like half-truths
With the advent of a scientific benefit
There awaits with it a new deficit
—
Hence Science is a transient mimic
Of Nature and God charging our sanity
In order to trust it not
WE MUST TRUST IN OUR INNER TRUTH
