A brain so brilliant one of a kind
Relativity was his magical find
Equations he juggled in his head
Nature’s laws he minutely read
Compass was his earliest inspiration
The rest was "99 percent perspiration"
Newtonian notions he took apart
A path pioneering did he chart
A discovery truly profound and rare
That sublime E equals mc square
A Nobel he won; an ironical select
Not relativity but photoelectric effect
Unified field theory was his dream
Alas! A goal he could not redeem
Genius he was but a human after all
God forgive his blemishes big n small
