DILEMMA

Faith is often blind, and that seems tragic.

It drops to its knees, humble and devout.

Science’s problem is lack of magic.

It can’t accept the mystical throughout.

Each sees light stream

through a prism of glass.

The pious think of stained glass

and God’s bliss,

and all but simplicity they let pass.

They have no need for a hypothesis.

The logical need to know how light’s bent,

and measure photon wavelength to decide

if particle-waves end the argument

or there are more dimensions to divide.

The first has all the answers that it needs.

The other must seek before it accedes.
