William Blake the Scientist of Art

A scientist is suppose to do 
A scientific work 
And develops science 
For the betterment of mankind 

His contribution is treasured 
And venerated by all 
As he pushes up our knowledge 
On matter and life 
By leaving a legacy of 
Much better method and technique 

A poet is not in any way less 
If he is like William Blake 
And develops the branch of poetry 
Like a branch of science 

His method and technique 
Push up the art of writing poetry to a height
Equal to the invention of nuclear energy 
By the scientists  

To have a chain of reactions 
You need not any nuclear materials 
As his poetry is enough to set your mind 
To work like a reactor 

Inventions in the craft of writing poetry 
Centuries after centuries 
What mankind fails to achieve
In laboratories of art he invented those 
Like a scientist.
