Hawking’s View, By Brian James Rational Poet on FB/META and @Brianrrs37 on Twitter)

The canvas empty
The slate clean
They feed them lies
They grow up mean
Certain of everything
Of life’s meaning
God will save them
Of heaven they’re dreaming
My rights, intitled fights
Scorched earth day and night
And over what
An invisible being
To this myth
They still cling
The universe
|Is much more grand
Stars outnumber
Our grains of sand
Evolution
They don’t understand
Science has to
Take a stand
Black hole’s power
Takes command
That ancient book
Compared is bland
Antiquity’s ignorance
Holds us back
Reason and skepticism
Keeps us on track
Let go, let go
While there is much
We don’t know
“A God is not required”
Hawking’s view does show.
