Metallic Marvels 

Gold, silver, platinum, bronze; just to name a few,
Are metals a lot of us seem to hold of varying precious status,
Yet most of us go our whole lives unaware,
Of what these metallic variants can do for us…

For just like crystals and their gemstone counterparts,
We know they’ve their own respective properties and perspectives, 
Scientists have shown and experimented alike with,
Their toxicities, physical uses and complexities.

Systems define them to be of varying values to us,
And yet what if these metallic marvels of mother nature’s creation,
Serve a divinely different purpose to how we humans have substagated,
What if these sparkling resources exist for a very different intention?

Could it be they play a vital role in the survival of our planet?
After all we’ve micro variants of gold and copper in our blood,
If we over mine these marvellous, shiny metals,
Could worldwide balance be thrown off with a thud?

Or perhaps us humans mining and spreading metals across the Earth,
May perchance be creating a global harmonising effect,
Creating a shield of sorts if you will imagine for a moment,
Against our own advances in what we believe soon to be inept.

Perhaps we need to take a moment and just ponder,
These metallic marvels in all their strong, sparkling wonder,
Then adjusting our usage if need be in the future ahead,
Before to our eventual returning demise we are lead.
