ELECTRONS DON'T LIE

In the tempest of the spheres
Be it ours or be it theirs
All were born as a family once
Naked souls as the beloved sons

Lands built of a festive life
None innate envies thrive
But a mind capable of tricks
Foundations destroying their own bricks

Yet bound to the same core
No escaping Newton or Bohr
A million little sacrifices helped us flourish
Nonetheless, we strive for a soul to nourish

And thus one day, we extended our arms
Hid our intentions behind facial charms
Began to exploit the neighbour's resources
Watched the rivers change their courses

Ran away from our own bloodlines,
Tried finding peace in others' sunshine
And maybe, attached to a soul or two
Ended up homeless out of the blue

On the lands of ours, we defied each other
Among the traitors, we searched our brother
Got burned where no one could hear our cry
Helplessly saw each of our ashes fly

But later we realized our corrupt fate
And when nature responded, it was too late
The fusions and fissions designed our sphere
A drop of affection was to be found nowhere

And then a realization dawned upon us all
At the end, it's only love that stands tall
Electrons were never born to lie
It were mental circumstances that didn't abide by
