Preacher

I never wanted to be a preacher

of anything

not even science

especially that science cannot be preached

but only understood as ever-changing

as more data come in

Yet many people

including poets and other writers

see themselves as preachers

forgetting that we don’t preach anything

only propose

suggest

illustrate with words

present other points of view

even facts when the Moon is full

or the Sun not too hot

We don’t use command words

we never could

nothing is so sure

I could propose that dark energy

is love

that dark matter

is made of love clusters

and these would be

perhaps

poetic

nothing more

That light permeates

almost everything

may have been proposed

long ago by enlightened bards

but it is science that proved it

that showed its real beauty

around the Cosmos

adding pictures to some of the words

Papa don’t preach

and so every poet/writer

Even Preachers cannot preach

and they surely know why

and if they don’t

then they may be dangerous
