Science Fiction - The Neutron Accelerator Poem by Paul Warren

The new neutron accelerator was laid out in a tunnel underground
Stretching for five miles from the Physics Institute as it circled around
It was new science for them and they were careful in what occurred
As a ten year project sponsored by the military was explored
There were different theories as to what would happen to the world
When the accelerator was operated and what would be unfurled

The idea was to find a new unlimited source of energy as their goal
But when they powered up the accelerator went into a phase that was free fall
And try as they might they couldn't turn it off and it continued to power on
With the neutrons accelerating as scientists gathered in in a worried throng
On the third day they noticed they there was a a disturbance that was detected
That grew in time and the physical world near accelerator was seen to be affected

It started to drag the world into it and a spinning vortex occurred that didn't fade
And it grew in strength until it pulled the institute in and the Black Hole was made
The started to panic and the United Nations called a special assembly to be held
When a decision was made to gather the best scientists to work on saving the world
But the scientists were baffled by what had occurred and couldn't find the answer
So we wait as each day the Black Hole swallows the world in a slow motion disaster.
