The Scientist

This poem is dedicated to scientists who labor tirelessly  to advance science for the good of humanity

He labored tirelessly in his laboratory,

night or day made no difference.

One track mind is his story,

scientific truth is his reference.

Looking intensely on his contraption,

no one knows what he is thinking.

His assistant waiting for a reaction,

even he, does not have the slightest inkling.

The scientist eyes light up with surprise,

and gestures to his assistant with urgency.

Eager to pursue the suspenseful enterprise,

the assistant complies and changes the driving frequency.

Something suddenly happens and they get excited,

as giddy as fair-bound kids.

The scientist, after drawing the results on grids,

smiles and declares, “A new device has just been created.”
