A frog in the well lectured the sun one day
“Let me explain to you our universe”,
Asserted the frog, “ The universe is only water
Frogs and fish, crabs and some moss.”
The sun retorted, “What you know is so little
Of the vast, immense, splendid universe,
Come out , I will show you lush forests,
Majestic mountains, planets and galaxies.”
The frog insisted, “Show me proof of your fantasies,
Maybe at most there are a few stars in the night sky.”
The sun pitied the ignorant frog, “ Your vision is confined
To the tiny little circle of the well, you must come out.”
Now Humans tell God, “Give us proof you exist
You are someone’s invention to keep us in submission;
You are no creator, the universe self-evolved
Give us scientific evidence for your existence.”
The All wise creator spoke kindly to humans
“You are frogs in the well and hemmed in
By your environment and sense experiences;
You are circumscribed by time and space.
Do you want to know me? Jump out
Of your well you, hare-brained humans,
Can you cram my billions of tetra bytes
Data into your low capacity pen drive?”
