There has been perennial conflict
Between science and art
As they are poles apart
As one claims I am head
And other claims I am heart
Science says: I am based on truth and fact
As there is transparency in my act
You are known by illusion:
Prose, poetry, drama and fiction
So in you people have little conviction
And you are the thing of contention
So I don’t want even your name to mention.
I am top in marks to obtain
In the examination I score ten to ten
Whosoever read you say shit
When they see their mark-sheet.
I am logical and analytical in comprehension
And I am easy to readers in retention
So I am first choice for the students to select
Who have plenty of guts and intellect?
You have been notorious for things to memorize
Your followers are none but idiot prize.
I have secured the people’s future
By inventing the world of computer
You are still stagnant,
With thought and imagination, pregnant.
To see the insult of this sort
Art has decided to retort
I only have erected the monument and fort
You have only been labours to support
Yet you are not able to purport
You have made people to sit on the tomb
By allowing them to make atom bomb
In this world, none is feeling secured
So many explosives you have procured.
You have never been to poor and helpless students
At last I only notice their attendance
To read you they need huge investment
But I give shelter even to nomadic and iterant.
I have always been a messenger of the peace
Which is everybody’s desire and wish?
I have produced priest and sage
By giving the lessons of moral at every stage
You have only produced terrorist and tyrants
With your fatal discoveries and developments.
The poet says: oh dear brothers; Art and Science
Please grant the request of mine:
On our achievements, it’s of no use we quarrel and repine
As these are all the matters of the time.
