Alfred Nobel
Great minds think alike
In business and in war
Create to destroy
Like my father before
No nobility in poverty
No justice in death
Establish peace and prosperity
To give the wicked rest
The answers hide and wait
among the mysteries of science
Reward is always given
to those who live in defiance
An everlasting legacy
of invention, innovation
wealth amassed for the ages
by virtue of creation
Endlessly restless
the world awaits my eyes
lonely and aging
but no one in wait, lies
Changed the world
changed its face
made another instrument
of the end of our race
A paradox of views
a legacy of confusion
champion peace
but its just an illusion
make peace with tools of war
that's what I leave behind
a name associated
with greatest of all time
Wow... This is a powerful poem. Great work!
