THOUGHT ON READING AN ESSAY BY ALDOUS HUXLEY

Mighty little atom,

So central to everything,

All being,

Things in existence,

Beautiful and ugly,

Useful and useless...

Ourselves.

Yet, so seldom sung,

Or praised,

For what is an atom

That one cannot hold

Or see,..

Specious argument,

For can we see or hold

Love,

Respect,

Honor,

Duty,

Beauty?

And yet we sing of these!

So, let us admire and

Write poetry about

Atoms,

Molecules,

And more.
