Proton and Neutron

In the lab, under the microscope,
Neutron and Proton circled side by side.
They addressed each other without words,
And wonder how big the world is.

Neutron was heavy, massive,
And Proton was light and agile.
But together they were like two brothers,
They were always inseparable.

One day when experiments
They're already a little bored,
They decided to leave the lab.
After all, the world was so big and attractive!

They traveled day and night,
Overcoming all obstacles on the way.
Neutron was tired and fell asleep near the mountain,
Proton remained standing nearby, guarding his friend.

Proton took care of Neutron,
He never abandoned him,
He was a reliable support for him,
He changed the whole world for him.

And when Neutron woke up,
He realized that he must
Be grateful to his friend Proton
For friendship and support.

Though they've always been together,
Like inseparable twin brothers,
They were bound by a close physical union,
And nothing could separate them.

With the exception of The Large Hadron Collider,
In which they were accelerated against each other
And pushed with such force that both shattered into dust.
Sad story, but what can we do?
This is how most stories in the Universe end.
