Splitting the Atom


 
Splitting the Atom
 
Each atom has particles,
They say. Many, many parts.
Each soul has a memory.
A story.
A part.
 
Billions of stories.
Each to their own.
But we judge and we value.
We rate. We berate.
We hesitate too,
Until it's too late.
 
Billions of stories.
A dot. To spot from above.
All imbued with meaning.
Lest we forget that we have.
