H2o
The planet oxygen
Contained two constant
Continents called H,
Both covalently bonded,
Similar in shape, surviving
In a scheme far superior than
The disparity that dawned
Between them.
One believed in steam,
While the other fought for ice
To rule their tiny planet.
As time was spent and
Universes bent,
Forming self sustaining
Systems;
The rationale the
Over opinionated
Orbs realized was that,
Somewhere deep beyond
The matter that made
Them matter they
Couldn’t overlook
The reality that if they
Busted their bonds
And didn’t get along
And not coexist
Water wouldn’t subsist,
And existence for some
Would never, ever,
Even exist.
