Neither God Nor Science (Sonnet 1359) | Abhijit Naskar | Visvavatan: 100 Demilitarization Sonnets

I know people who use God
as excuse for hate and war.
I know people who use God
as inspiration for love and peace.

I know people who use Science
as excuse to be cold and inhuman.
I know people who use Science
as means to be warm and responsible.

It’s neither God nor Science,
that causes coldness and war.
In the hands of a selfish ape,
Science and God are equally impotent.

But when it’s a responsible human
that wields either God or Science,
You can rest assured of one thing,
nothing can dent their humanness.
