Galileo
I think our problem here today’s
Reverse of Galileo’s day;
Then merchant-meddling was no sin,
But mess with church? Quite troubling.You see, he made a tube with glass
Would watch to see if ships at last
Were fast approaching, homeward bound,
So he could be the first to sound –Alarm to merchants who could fleece
The other merchants – cash increase;
Two hours’ lead on info-base,
Was all it took to win the race.The church just smiled and winked an eye
At Galileo – merchant spy;
But when he looked at stars and moon,
Their holy twinkle died quite soon.But here, today where god’s the cash,
It’s quite reversed – scorn God? You ask;
Why sure, with full impunity –
Defile at will His dignity.But do not mess with money-men,
Full wrath will fall on you again,
Just like in 1632 –
So mind your ways – that’s what to do.Or say goodbye to life right now,
As Jesus did, and showed us how;
Once death is passed, our lives are free
To point our tools where e’er we please.navigation
