And views the spacious lawn
Exulting in his epic deed
As if his feat does far exceed
The scene he looks upon.
Long there before his life commenced
And will be when he’s gone
He only sees inside the fence
Knows nothing of a world immense,
The universe beyond.
How like the braying scientist
Who boasts, “We’ve conquered space”
A self-deluded egotist
Who in half-truth and myth persists—
We’ve barely left first base!
“We’ll soon find out how all began”
He says in pompous pride;
How arrogant of little man
To dare presume or think he can
Push God and Truth aside!
Was he around when God made all?
Did God need his assist?
‘Your God is dead!’ –his vain catcall,
Oblivious to what befalls
When God and Truth’s dismissed.
The worm atop his newfound dais
Now gloats defiantly;
He’s lord of all his eye surveys
And in his pride no notice pays—
The bird swoops silently.
