Science is Service (The Sonnet) | Corazon Calamidad

Extraordinary technology brings extraordinary recklessness,
Because the human mind hasn’t matured like technology has.
We may have developed technology that defies human limits,
Evolutionary predispositions of the mind haven’t disappeared.
That’s why I say, bigger the power the smaller the mind.
For a wielder without backbone, silicon is but plaything.
Even an ounce of science can do unimaginable harm.
To fathom it you gotta step out of the glare most blinding.
Science ‘n society go together, can’t have one without the other.
Where there is love for science, there is love for society.
If this simple thing doesn’t penetrate the skull of us thickies.
We would be better off without all the scientific glory.
Science is an act of service in the course of lifting all humanity.
Science without accountability is no different from a conspiracy theory.
