The Scientist Versus The Preacher (more poetry)

Hey again, if you're new to me, read my intro in the first post, at the end of this blog. Comment on who you think is better, the scientist or preacher?

The Scientist Versus The Preacher

The scientist gets paid, goes home, and sleeps,
Another child dies as their heart loses beat.
The procedure seems simple, without second thought,
The vanished hand reaches for the life it never got.
Another city crumbles, Death takes his toll,
Atomic bombs taking lives, leaving massive holes.
The same inventions that were once made for the better,
Are employed as weapons as we emulate Hitler.
But O, a cure is found, is found!
So many lives can now be saved,
As the rest die on the ground.

The preacher gets paid, goes home, and prays,
For life without abortions or wars, and for better days.
His worries are moral as the scientist lays.
He will never understand these modern ways.
He sternly judges life he does not even know,
He is quicker to condemn than to say, how so, how so?

Each man will always try to keep their faults at bay,
So who is better off as time slips away?
