What madness
Motivates us to orbit the Earth,
In hopes that we discover a new star?
What intrigue
Moves us to act in such an assuming manner,
Where we can only analyze and dissect?
What makes us scientists?
What lack of empathy
Disconnects us from feeling compassion,
That we forget what humanity means?
What evidence
Directs us to place so many under distress,
Where our fellowmen become our test subjects?
What makes us scientists?
What failures
Force us to be clinical rather than empathetic,
In which we lose personality?
What breakthroughs
Allow us to learn more about the world,
Where no one has yet gone?
What makes us scientists?
What makes us human?
What makes us alive?
What questions are yet to be answered?
