I am your god You worship at my altar Yet I offer you no salvation My glassed fingers Boiling liquid answers Hypothesis's inconsistencies I promise I entice Stretching minds to new possibilities Some are offered health and wellness Comfort Ecstasy I am virility in a blue pill Cancers enemy A diabetic's reason to celebrate I am a surgeons hand I am more Yet I take I wound I baffle You are unable to wield my power I am atomic Power to warm Light your darkened hallways Melt the skin from your bones I am disappearing ozone The death of your oceans Viruses strengthened by your wisdom I am the answers to questions you don't wish answered I point you to another Yet you are blind You cannot see You worship at my altar Yet I offer no salvation Personifying Science contest.

Congratulations on your win. Thanks much for entering my contest. I like seeing science personified as a God we worship and not quite know. Very thoughtful work, I enjoyed reading it.
