Combination
Hydrogen, oxygen and carbon,
Combine,
in ways sublime,
To construct a new bargain.
In protein and DNA
They create a new alphabet,
To make a world at play
That the universe won’t forget.
In coils, fibres and globules
In viscous solutions,
Sparking electricity in
The wise or fools,
Fomenting evolution
Along their very own rules.
What a combination –
Creating plant and nation.
Organic molecules
Resulting in spaceships and schools.
Hydrogen,
Carbon
And oxygen –
Amen amen amen.
