Do you think when Einstein discovered his atomic secret he dropped to his knees, raised his eyes to the heavens above and asked why me?
Do you think he sat there for hours on end praying for absolution?
Perhaps that he picked up the dice at that moment and realized that God wasn’t playing with the universe?
Do you think he toiled with the idea of destroying his theory, his proofs and all his notes?
Do you think he looked at his books and wondered what colour smoke the fire would be if he just threw his books in and erased from this earth the horror he must have known he’d just unmasked?
Do you think that in the joy of discovery he shed a tear that stained like blood?
Do you think he even knew what he had done?
Do you think he was torn between the progress of humanity and the death of a planet?
Do you think his shooting star was more like an intellectual Hiroshima because he knew the vulgarity of the human mind?
I don’t know either.
