Ameliorate

The spyglass which obviated obscurity to apprehend oblivious;

To the astronomical annular illuminated eyes floating apportioning present & prius.

The last sapiens who witness in a day sixteen dawn & dusk;

And the metallic beings crossing planetary or interstellar breaching dark matter immersed.

For the extrasolar to unearth extended alive sapiens or extending the inhabitancy;

In the quest to submit reverence or to claim the supremacy.

The atrocious directives weakened the perseverance of this land;

Now inculcating the hope to inhabit mystic cosmic zones or terraform uninhabitable sun & sand.

But why those illuminated eyes shalt share precious learning about far far away?

Wouldn't the lessons compel ameliorated genes protected by machines to inhabit first, rather the rest proliferate dismay?

The authentic darkness enwreathing infinitude balancing space time right;

Millions of years! Now let that 'unknown' be kindled with Light :)

The Old Learned Man

When sailed through the chronicle of seasons lost,

The planets aligned arbitrarily enwreathing smoke & haze;

Walked with his son where boat was moored,

Sack on his shoulders, neither had desire nor was amazed.

Not will which adrift his flesh eventuality compelled him,

Unanchored his boat towards horizon on the land where grace rhyme;

The vilified grit and wisdom he dwelled with for ages,

Unlearned suppressed truth harboured him as meek with time.

Sailing he conveyed & collated thesis which his son transcribed,

The whispers & his chants floated with wind & ocean;

Leaning on the mast discerned the main-stay,

Singing hymns wrapping thoughts towards horizon looked his son.

Unanticipated, storm thwacked with lightning! Yearnings capsized,

Unconscious his son drifted towards the shore;

Awakened by the touch of grit desolated he searched,

The voyage floated, but the old learned man was no more.
