Sodium and Chlorine
Sodium doesn't look like much;
it's so soft you can slice it like butter but
when you throw sodium in water,
it explodes.
Chlorine is kind of similar;
sometimes, in small doses, it has its uses but
when you spray chlorine out in an open field,
it's so corrosive it will shred your lungs apart.
Yet when you put the two of them together,
it makes table salt,
its sole electrons no longer lonely
as they blend together.
Do you think we can be like that,
two self-destructive people meshing together
to make something worthwhile
or will we just leave any more chaos in our wake?
There's only one way to found out.
