It started with elemental deconstruction,
by alchemists' grand scheme of reconstruction;
to make more common one's precious gold
so their success everyone could behold.

But in their failure they gleaned for success,
so with the periodic table they obsessed;
breaking down all to element's symbology,
but their predilections was still with astrology.

They tormented their minds and worked for their hour,
mathematics indicated there was more to scour;
so neutron, proton and electron came into being,
breaking them apart, created a earthly sun to be seen.

But man's inclination of flesh's vaporization,
those damned calculations had more realizations;
men made gadgets to reveal quarks, leptons and bosons,
but another sub-atomic particle exists, theorists are boasting.

This was the speculative, secret glue turning energy to mass
while scientists were damned to prove, with another blast;
created was a new gizmo, without size limits or financial control,
seeking the elusive God Particle would cause particles to roll!

Great news! Proof has been found that God's particle does exist!
Then another element of the particle saga will nag and insist;
driving man to theorize, explain, with questions that persist,
more resources and alchemical magic they will enlist.

The unforeseen particle of God in this all -is His humor is cruel,
we must amuse God as we never learn and remain our own fools...
Funny how, as we reduce life's particles in ever decreasing size,
we daunt ourselves with ever the more increasing questions that arise!

Perhaps God himself appreciates most our need to question forever more;
realizing that with our fall from grace and garden banishment ...
The need to explore.
