Poem: The Dark Heretic

entry picture

In diligent search of God
was the dark heretic,
a master of the natural world
and our father of modern physics.

In defiance of the Church
stood Sir Isaac Newton alone,
cloistered in his office, clinging…
To personal beliefs, of his own.

Interest in “The End Times”
was his lifelong, secret mission -
His papers were intentionally hidden,
from recognizing the gravity of his situation.

In the study of Divine Prophesy,
Newton poured incessantly over the Word,
convinced that his Doomsday calculations were…
Godly insights - that he alone had learned.

Indeed, we are seeing natural disasters and earthquakes;
however, God stated that “no man shall know the date”.
So in 2060, will Newton have the last laugh,
regarding his expected demise of all human fate?

Sir Isaac Newton, he's the guy
Watched an apple fall down from the sky
His gravitorial situation
Our lavatorial consternation
2060?... I'm not worried
Chances are that I'll be buried...

(Well it nearly rhymed...)

No man indeed shall know the date
So be accountable for your fate.
