E=Mc²

E=Mc²
 1
 
 
I am done in,
 2
Lacking energy,
 3
Crushed broken and giving up,
 4
Yeah, Right!
 5
 
 
Some, like Einstein,
 6
Didn’t give academia  priority,
 7
Yet readily understood the formulae;
 8
Relativity not general supermarket topic,
 9
Though his line on war heard voiced at times.
 10
 
 
No polylister; nor versed in structured linguistics:
 11
Science of reasoning the forté,
 12
that logic is nebulous; undoubtedly.
 13
Sine qua nom; imagination,
 14
Small peaks attest to roust,
 15
‘Til Momus shows,
 16
Throwing inferiority at Athena,
 17
Who, far from ostentatious,
 18
Gave clearance to avarice,
 19
Content to rivet temporally in small address,
 20
Being elocution not so strong.
 21
 
 
But when Kali holds hands with Athena,
 22
as the new era enters existence ,
 23
Mnemosyne will forget Momus,
 24
As he rides the vortex of revolutionary spin,
 25
with other perfunctory scree.
 26
 
 
And friends of Einstein,
 27
Cerebrums buzzing,
 28
Will brainstorm the kaleidoscope,
 29
And stamp history
 30
In clandestine but genuine faculty,
 31
With an energy,
 32
That matters!
 33
