Description
From the land of poets and thinkers a POEM for you
O people I have never seen
I’m standing before you
Why have you assembled here?
I want to get to know you
O places I have never been
Hafnium, you o Lutetium, Holmium
Cities of power and beauty as well
What are your stories, o where’s the big secret?
Maybe the erudite scientists tell
Fermium, you o Einsteinium, Bohrium
Faces composed and collected, sparkling and bright eyes and organs
Hearts that are strong and they carry so much
As for the noble and poor a song for the old and the young
Lungs of great volume are breathing in deeply
I’m hearing the grand choir sing:
we flew through the sun and from planet to planet
went to the moon and collected them all
look up at the blue sky, it’s shining
We Are The Elements
look down at the ground, it‘s under your feet
our traces seem randomly scattered
we though obey something else omnipresent
which grants us fierceness and freedom
The atoms have spoken revealing their nature
And clearly I see now their reveling parts:
Electrons are dancing within wacky orbits, the crowd made of neutrons and protons essential
These are uniting the glorious spheres but differing only in number they are
Obvious is now the salient rule: two follows one so three follows two
Children they are Mendeleev and Mayer
For seeing the elements‘ natural order
Of mothers and fathers in families and periods nicely arranged
Subject these are to a much greater power
Now building blocks forming our delicate life
Time, a ubiquitous principle giving
Energy flowing through everything living
The whole is more than the sum of its parts
A force is pulling me into your midst
You’re welcoming me, o what pleasure I feelbecoming a piece of the elements‘ art
