Great oh mighty science

The prayer of the scientist.

The prayer of Hojo.

Great oh mighty science,

my life,

my strength,

my purpose in life.

Great oh mighty science,

let me be your servant and

give you my skills,

give you my brain,

give you my determination.

Great oh mighty science,

let me discover undiscovered,

let me solve unsolved,

let me find the truth.

Great oh mighty science,

give me strength

to fight for you

to fight to solve it through.

I just want you to sacrifice

what precious could mine.

Let me give my soul.

There is not more in the world

than I want much more.

Only greatest strength and health.

All secrets of the world.

Global power dominance

and immortality.

Great oh mighty science.


I wrote this short poem, Prayer of a scientist, while I have been thinking about Hojo, and a little bit of Lucrecia and scientists in general. It is about their conscience. Where are their limits. How far they can go in the vision of future great discoveries.

This poem is more about what would Hojo prayed for, if he would be able to thing about science as a power of a world. Because I think for some people, scientists, even if they don't believe in gods and magic, their believe is in science, that everything can be discovered and understood by logic. And that is sort of belief.

Though, I don't thing that most of the scientists are like Hojo. His thirst for power and perfection.


This is my first work in writing. Actually I sometimes created some small silly childish poems. But they have been in my native language Czech. English is my second foreign language, so please excuse some mistakes and probably much simpler vocabulary, since I am not used to write much in the English. Hopefully I will get better in time with more practice.

While I wrote this I was listening the song Truth beneath the rose from Within Temptation, that probably affected some choices of phrasing and words.


Hope someone will like it. And I would love if you write some comments. If I can write things get better.
