What was the man that invented fire
was he a scientist
was he a dreamer
was he a mad man
or simply fool that stumbled upon the future

What was the man that that invented nuclear fission
was he a scientist
was he a dreamer
was he a mad man
or was he simply a fool that stumbled upon doomsday

why  not a mixture
why can one not be all three
why cant I be a dreamer who dreams madly
or a scientist who dreams of the future
why not a fool who dreams of being a scientist
why must I  be one

One would be a fool not to dream
if he dreams then a mad man  be he not to be a scientist
and only a mad man because
some people don't understand the dream
others make the dream a nightmare
the foolish scientist only wanted to share a dream
