Oh Science, I hate Thee!!
Some theories address
their own obvious desperation
So things ‘happen’…
Only a motley bunch of researchers
Capable of picking up the lowest hanging fruits
Get drawn with an insane precision
to the howls of science…
Bundles of molecules, atoms, electrons, protons –ecstatically
bounce
Burst out their silver threads…the scientists see the light!
Sitting at the edge, in deep psychedelic trance
Unable to cope with the verisimilitudes; or is it
Fearing an unknown infinity
I keep sinking into a deluge of Absudities
Day lingers a while in its antics
evening descends...heading to
penumbra of darkness
I wake up and scream, NO!
--there’s nothing!-nothing can exist at all- beyond me!
The human gene- is what? My atoms were made where?
Answers really matter little…
Science is hazy, misty, nebulous...
to purposeless, dimwit, visionless eyes.
Shared with
verisimilitudes---wow you pulled out the 10 dollar words here...
ReplyDeletemy problem with science is its in accessibility ... i think it is fascinating
the complexity of hte universe...by itself though, science can not answer those questions...
I am humbled by your words Brian. My problem is exactly like yours--inaccessibility!!! Smiles...and thanks.
Delete"... the lowest hanging fruits..." "Howls of science" sinking ...
ReplyDeleteIf it is hate and not fear that can spin such fine phrases and images, you just go right on hating science .... in your poem, though, I felt awe.
I am humbled by your words, Susan. Thank you so much. Your appreciation matters immensely to me. :)
DeleteThis is wonderfully written. What science cannot explain, poetry can. Well done, my friend.
ReplyDeleteThank you, my friend. You made my day, McGuffy Ann. :))))
DeleteA good one Panchali. The poem gave an insight into your reasons for not liking Science.You have done it very convincingly.
ReplyDeleteThat's a huge compliment, Usha. :)

ReplyDeleteParthasarathi, It's my loss....worse for me!! Wonder, where did the comments go...? I checked the 'spam' column..couldn't find them. Pity...
DeleteI am glad you made that extra effort...I am humbled. Thanks again :)
Science is a gift, a tool to make a connection to the Great Spirit...the Almighty. It is not an end in itself . It is to assist us in acknowledging the wonder of creation and the universe.
ReplyDeleteRallentanda. So apt. I love your Pearls of wisdom. They ring with truth. Thank you.
DeleteI hate science too, because Mr. sharma asked difficult questions, the answers i knew not and always got punished.
ReplyDeletebut science has taught us a lotttttttt

Too much explanation can spoil just being..there are some great scientists that make it beautiful however - have you read The Magic of Reality by Richard Dawkins..it is beautiful
ReplyDeleteYes Jae. I have read the book. Its packed with inspiring explanations of space, time and evolution, laced with humor and clever thought experiments,...a charming read!!
DeleteI am glad that Dawkins decided to write a popular science book to include people like me!! Thanks very much for that wonderful
your poem has a very rich texture...and i agree science is hazy to the visionless eyes...great lines Panchalidi
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sumana. Your appreciation matters immensely to me.:0
DeleteI love what McGuffy Ann says: what science cannot explain, poetry can. Perfect!
ReplyDeleteYour comment DELIGHTS me, Sherry! Thank you very much!!
DeleteI love when we can feel the science....then we don't need to understand it. ~ Very passionate write!
ReplyDeleteI could feel your frustration in this well written poem.
ReplyDeleteever interesting to read ur post..there are many questions still unanswered by science n scientist which the writers have answered.. works by Vyasan,Valmiki and so on shows it clearly....where many inventions of today were already written eg:- plane,cloning,television so on ..HAPPY MOMMY DAY ..GOD BLESS U :))
ReplyDeleteI'll use your poem to explain why I opted for social sciences after schools...
