Protons, Neutrons And Electrons OH MY

Tis mostly about nothing

Naught But Smoke In The Wind

Ethereal is…as ethereal does

Bundles of atoms is what we be

Empty space wrapped in cosmic fuzz

Electrons trying to break free

We be something…just not very much

We’re not very material atall

Just wee Protons, Neutrons and such

Smooshed all together in a ball

Yet we think…reason and wonder

What our place in the cosmos is...

Question, posit and ponder

Is there more, or is this all there is?

Our origins are in the furnaces of space

Our destinies as fickle as the weather

Our lives be brief, but our souls stay apace

…Our atoms fate…is to live forever…

Sorry about the large print. I can't seem to make it smaller. (but at least it's easy to read)
