Solar Eclipse

Two eyes to us, which way to look? Astrology or Astronomy? Beliefs or Facts? The war has lasted so long. One side, magic and on other, science! Priests versus scientists. Curse or phenomena rare? Some praying while some rejoicing. Event tragic or one festive? The peak time: some cry in sadness While so many are applauding! Two eyes to us, which way to look? Whichever side we look, keep our feet on earth!! For Solar eclipse today 1 Sept 2016

A wonderful poem Sunita, Astrology, Science, Religion all with differing views of the same event. But as you say, keep our feet on the Earth. A Magical event kind regards, Kevin

Very interesting poetic treatise, Sunita. Excellent existential pondering ... I love how you make the reader exercise their mental muscles. A deep poem w/much substance and meat on the bone. A tiger in the rain exceptional poem. Love and joy always.
