Stephen Hawking Perches...

Within Pantheon Of Classical Gods

stricken with affliction,
sans amyotrophic lateral sclerosis

(also known as ALS, 
or Lou Gehrig's disease)

in the prime of his youth wrought

underestimation, vitiated termination,

targeted sequestration,
solidified rigidification,

rendered quandary,
per paralyzation obliterated,
nixed navigation,
morphed motivation,

marked limitation

kickstarted infatuation,
jinxed immobilization,
induced intellectual hyperfunction,

garnered fundamental fascination,

fanned fabled exploration,

devastation demonstrated
delectable declaration,

cosmological constant comet

clinched, chained certain capitulation,

brainstormed benefaction,

benediction attribution assured.

his longevity (marked by bing permanently
linkedin, hitched, drafted

to a custom made wheelchair,

his brilliant unsullied scientific genius)

endured seventy six orbitz veer

though seemingly motionless, he freed their
ret tickle physiochemical insight

encompassing, revolutionizing,
and jaw-dropping, revelations

with mortals he did share

mental limitless groundswell

fed his fecund rare
if eyed cogitated, formulated, insulated

(infinitesimal nook and cranny) force queer

lee disproportionate overly endowed capacity

bracketed with mar ching madness peer
ring with laser, razor, and taser sharp mind

(or a minuscule approximate near

facsimile thereof) scrutinizing, positing,

and discerning astronomical phenomena mere
via concentrating gifted limned, and rapacious,

though processes affixed

with a visage mordantly like King Lear.
