I’m yet to learn the secrets of life
Sitting in a science lab
Rarely do I find significance
In the habitat of a fiddler crab
For though I can count protons
And calculate mass
I can’t change the course of life
With these modest facts
Though Newton’s laws may one day
Be of my concern
At the moment there are other things
It would rather learn
Give me balance to measure the weight of words
Give me “adaptations” that give voice to the unheard
Give me a lens that shows truth that’s been blurred
And show me how evolution left the unkind souls preferred
Science examines the “how” of life
But conveniently ignores the “why”
Which is why I don’t reach enlightenment
With safety goggles on my eyes
I love this one too! So thoughtful!
