The World Of The Blinds Poem by Vadakkumpurath Ramesan

The World Of The Blinds



Galileo Galilei
In handcuffs
Before the cleric court
Whose head hang
Not in shame of himself
But in shame of the ignorance
Of the humans
With sharp ears broode over
The Judgment to come!
At last Galileo Galilei
Who lost sight of eyes
Of the sun beams
That peeped into his pupils
Handed down the verdict
The verdict of incarceration
Till the death!
The act was enacted
In the sixteenth century
For heresy by him
In denouncing Ptolemy
And endorsing Copernicus
Escaped from harsh verdict
But for not making it public.
Galileo Galilei
Breathed his last
In the mid of seventeenth century
With no excuse or exoneration!
In the Twentieth century
The cleric commission met
And cleared him of heresy
And Galileo Galilei
Still slept in his grave
With his tongue motionless
With his eyes blind
With his ears sensing no sounds!
Yet the heavenly bodies
Revolved around the burning sun
As Galileo Galilei told!
