SCIENTIST, by                    
First Line: With finite certainty I penetrate
Last Line: Can only anwer that I do not know.
Subject(s): Science; Scientists


With finite certainty I penetrate
Atomic secrets in whose depths I find
Solution to abysses that mankind
Has pondered over ages past. The weight
And years of stars I know, and estimate
Within a second when a shade will blind
The moon. I know when nebulae will wind
Themselves to form new worlds and life create.

Disguised, these robes of science well deny
That I am Ignorance incognito.
A child asks such a simple thing as why
Must roses wither and the summer go?
I am a child untaught as he, and I
Can only anwer that I do not know.
