Andrea Dietrich Poet Personification

A Sonnet For Science

Science, you’re a cool, efficient fellow.
Your counterpart, Humanities, is free
to simply feel, while you, with need to KNOW,
stir brightest minds with curiosity!

You show us God-like strides in every field
of your vast knowledge as you tempt mankind
each century with wonders of your yield,
influencing the world’s each greatest mind,
practitioners who then unleash your power 
for good or bad into the universe.

Arts dance while you grow mighty in your tower,
like Babel rising.  Will you be our curse?
Your worshipers are not divine, and they -
In raising YOU - may fell the world one day.

Mark Peterson November 5, 2013 at 5:31 PM Science seems correct and, for the moment, is. Your poem reveals, however, that knowledge does not guarantee wisdom.
