Einstein's Shadow

Underneath the genius hat he wore
Lies the secret, whispers of folklore
Was it his ideas or just a facade?
Tales of genius cloud in shadows broad

Plagiarism, corruption, fraud they seethe
Twisted stories, history believes
Did he steal the light or find the spark?
In the shadows, there's a mark

Patents piled high on stolen thought
Wonders claimed, none he never fought
Was he just a thief in a scholar's robe?
Power and fame, consumption's globe

Plagiarism, corruption, fraud they seethe
Twisted stories, history believes
Did he steal the light or find the spark?
In the shadows, there's a mark

Nobel dreams are crafted lies
Brilliance built on stolen skies
Einstein's name in legends wed
But the truth lies in the thread

Ideas borrowed, some say took (Borrowed, some say took)
Wrote them down in every book (In every book)
Was his brain a spark or just a sham?
Twists and turns, a tangled scam

Ideas borrowed, some say took
Wrote them down in every book
Was his brain a spark or just a sham?
Twists and turns, a tangled scam

Ideas borrowed, some say took
Wrote them down in every book
Was his brain a spark or just a sham?
Twists and turns, a tangled scam
