A Scientistâs Prayer (Free verse) by Dovina
Many work at science
Naming it as cause
Use some higher math
And cater to the boss
Free my lips from half-truth
And simplifying twists
While striving for Your essence
With hope for just a glimpse
Free me from administration
ruling dullards with the ax
Named as scientists supreme
Who serve another god
Uncloud my eye from rules
Free my hand from haste
Let anger undue pretense
And work left slack and rough
Let me neither rest
Nor take an undue praise
While error lurks uncovered
Unassaulted in the wing
You coyly hide in what You make
Coaxing doubt Youâre even there
So, let me fathom You a dream
Or Dreamer, as You wish
Curios and clues are You
Make me stubborn to the test
Let me seek the guiding laws
And find the Writerâs mind
Give me strength to question
Or know You without limit
Make me free from rules
And free from lack of doubt
