Baalbeck July, 1987

It Is Wrong To Reduce Science Into Crime
By the plumes of my mind I soared up high
And I looked down gazing from my own sky
I saw a polluted world taken fire
By the match of a scholar to expire
Fifty years ago I cried loud and now
I’m crying louder for you to see how
We are approaching the cliff to fall down
Into the spare none ocean where we drown
We shouldn’t take all things in the positive
Unless we take heed of the negative
Careless care made of the world a huge pyre
Burning to ash by a slow grazing fire
Now the smoke is muffling the earth entire
And the scholars are still feeding the fire
‘tis wrong to reduce science into crime
And lay waste the earth on the floor of time
