Science Over The Ages

It all began with a question,

What are we? How were we made?

And the question is still on,

With billions living, zillions dead.

The first answer was bones,

That hid beneath the flesh,

All of it came to being, only

when we had God's grace.

But then we got to know,

Even bones don't always thrive,

At the end of their journey

They too merge to the fab five.

Soon the earth, water, fire

Air and amber became the set,

Elements with which you,

Could make anything you bet.

But soon it hit us men, that

There were hundreds within,

And came the periodic table

With many blanks to fill in.

Next, we found the atom,

The one that made it all,

Sorry, you can not see it,

For it is beyond small.

Soon we got to particles, 

Boson, meason, fermion,

The standard model, they call,

Yet, one was out of the union.

Gravity they said, had no

Particle to communicate,

The one they said could be

Was too hard to locate.

Then came along the strings,

Vibrations that beget nature,

Each with a unique wriggle,

They decide our very future.

From god to god's particle,

We have come a long way,

Chasing a few questions,

That science still asks today.
