Summum Bonum with White Hair like Einstein and Jehovah

A thermonuclear explosion might

Bring faith and science into fusion, hot

And perfect, dark with raylight mystic light,

The revelation of perfection caught.

Destruction of religion in that blast

Would turn the mysticism into one

With radiated facts and laws.  A vast

Result would be a heat beyond mere sun,

Uncountable the galaxies’ mere heat

And weight while universes in flare’s pride

Would be resolved to calculus so neat

That God’s own heart could factor in prayer’s pride.

  The Theory of Everything would meld

    All thinking and beliefs minds ever held.
