Darkening Sun

Deifying themselves, the scientists disprove with their tools the existence of God To sit on a throne artificially made the Creator to them falsely shod They loudly decry as their courtiers boast about how powerful their laws have become While built into their structure a flaw starts to crack their self-glory —a darkening sun (Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2019)

The pride of man trying to deify himself..that age old, timeless sin! Well written poem, Kurt. Excellent metaphor of the darkening sun, too. Enjoyed. :)
