Flame Lightning Midnight Sky

Flame, lightning, midnight sky
science seeks to tell you why
crystals break the light of day
refracting prisms show the way

ears grown on the backs of mice 
growing quicker faster rice
science helps to path the way
a better life to build some day

knowledge lost we wish to know 
how did the time before us grow
subtle sky's of midnight fire
open up your hearts desire

maths the doorway of our dreams 
building new and better schemes
seeking how our life began
science is our bitter friend

from bombs that blow our planet wide
science hides from you no lies
how we use the things we know
can destroy a million lives

from knowledge grown, to space ship flight 
science helps bring knowledge light 
science opens doors unknown 
growing dreams before unsown

I love this wonderful poem about science, unfortunately I don't think you turned science into a person. The contest requirements state the use of the personification form, too. However, despite the contest, this is wonderful work and I really enjoyed reading it. Thanks very much for entering my contest.

A well written poem about how science influences our lives. I like the rhyming and the way the poem evolves. Best wishes Linda x
