The Accuse Of Facts.... Galileo Poem by Afzal Shauq

Closed eyes of justice
The church of old
lacking understanding
Condemned you

That judgement
would sentence me
also a criminal

The crimes....
enlightenment
I eat...wear...
and stay in that light...
brightened by the sun

And when night falls
still I stay in that light
be it by the moon
or by the lamp.
