Messiah

by Ya----Na   Mar 18, 2018


It wasn't easy for him

to become the disciple of a bad religion
during those days or
to drink poison of wise words
for the genesis of time;
to liberate the evil truths abandoned
by the human nature
or to understand the stained letters
of a foreign language.

However, he did because
his lonely mind had every freedom

to walk on the spectrum of his beliefs;
to cross the oceans of galaxies;
to create ripples in the sea of stars
and to hear the heartbeat of the universe.

In his life,
there wasn't any flashback
as he believed in future
and on the canvas of his imagination,
he froze our sun, broke our moon a billion times;

he was trapped inside the prison
with a peerless heart
yet lived every traumatic moment
with contentment
as he was light-years ahead of his weaknesses.

Black hole was his first crush,
a prophecy of love never fulfilled,
and he twisted the space beneath many theories
while sitting upon his throne to embrace it.
At last he defied...

    At last, he defied gravity. I just loved the way you structured this word, gravity. It looks like sir stephen hawking soul is going into heaven by defying the laws of gravity. He was an inspiration to millions of people, especially youngsters, around the globe. I am sad, that's the reason I wrote a poem for him too.

    SG, I am becoming a fan of your work and please consider me too if you are going to teach Nee how you write so beautifully.

    This poem is all about the journey of my dear Stephen hawking. I could not stop myself from nominating it.

    First stanza is all about the time when science was not considered that good or miracles of science considered as evil. That's why title justifies this poem so well because in today's world we all see him as messiah of that bad religion or science.

    Second stanza is all about the time when he had everyone but still he felt alone. However, in that loneliness his mind had every freedom to express himself to the outer world. His body was trapped by a disease but not the beliefs. That's why he kept on sharing the secrets of the universe with us till his last breath. Once again, in this stanza loved the beautiful language you used.

    Third and fourth stanza gives continuity to the second one. Like after all the sufferings he had been through he was in peace with himself and he kept on publishing or giving so many theories time and time again. I completely agree with you on this that he really was light-years ahead of his weaknesses.

    Then comes the last stanza with bit of romantic angle. All his life he gave to see or find black hole in the universe. He had many theories in his mind about the universe like mutiverse etc, but black hole and time was his most favorite. Those flowers in the end looks like a grave, is it really?

    SG, once again, you used phenomenal words to portray your emotions towards the brilliant mind of 20th century. There is no such favorite part because I loved the whole poem. I second on what Ben said about the poem. There is so much in the poem to read and observe and to think for the rest of the day as Nee mentioned.

    Finally, to end this, I just want to say 'Mission accomplished'.

    All the best!

    A wonderful and clever tribute Shane to the fantastic Mr Hawkings (I assume?)
    Do you ever wonder if perhaps he achieved more BECAUSE of his MN disease than he would have if he'd been able bodied? Could being a prisoner of your own body allow for a greater focus on mental pursuits? :-) x
