Silicon is the second most abundant element on earth,
About forty five million dollars per year is its worth.
Silicon is 25.7% of the earth’s crust,
And since it’s a metalloid it will not rust.
Silicon is one of the best semiconductors,
This is why it is so commonly used by computer chip constructors.
In its crystal form silicon has a dark grey color
And a shiny metallic luster.
Silicaceous dust
Can cause a disease called silicosis.
Silicon is the fourteenth element on the periodic table,
It only needs 4 more electrons to make it stable.

I'm sitting here alone,
the work to do; a ton,
yes i'm sitting here alone,
researching silicon!
for where would we be if
our brests were too small.
why our men folk may not
look at us at all.
That's why it's so important
to study silicon.
even if your work load
weighs tons more than a ton!

Silicon, my Silicon
Second most abundant element on the mother earths crust,
Said to be the most used of all,
Of course you are, Why?
Because you are found in the stars and in sun.
I thank Jons Berzelius for finding you,
For without you where would we be?
There would be no glass, no radars or steel
You come in all shapes and sizes,
One day a liquid the next day a solid.
As a non-metal you were once used to strengthen concrete,
Now you are mostly used as eye wear.
I thank you Silicon for making the world complete.

Silicon
Fourteenth Element on the table
Four more electrons and then it’s stable
Discovered by Jons Berzelius in 1823
Now it is used for more than three
Things include glass, brick and concrete
Without silicon we couldn’t compete
With manufacturers of solar cells and microchips
Then we would put our hands on our hips
We wouldn’t have small computers that we have today
They would be so big that in one spot we would stay
Dark grey metalloid with a bluish tint
You were just given a hint
As to what it looks like at room temperature
Of this I am very sure
It makes up twenty percent of earth’s crust
And causes some people to lust
No wait that is silicone
Most people get them confused when they are alone

Silicon is dark grey
Blue some would say
Made from things like
Sand and clay
Silicon is used in glass.
Made from sand not friggin grass
If it were a crystal,
It would be cubic
But don’t mistaking
This one for Rubik
Si like Pi,
But not an alkali
Computers use this stuff
To keep them up to snuff.
This one is Metalloid
Not like Polaroid
Protons and Neutrons,
Both the same
Fourteen in number,
Not too lame. |

Silicon
Who would have thought that so much sand would change the world?
Disinformation, sweeping the world at the rate of 100k a second, and all because of a few grains of sand.
Thousands of messages, thousands of times a day.
"I miss you." "I love you."
"Dentist appointment at 4pm, don't forget."
All sent along miles of beach.
I love it all, but some days, I wish I could just go swimming.

She wanted to
Be
Just like
Barbie
So she got her
Silicone.
But what doesn't make
Sense
And I have
Wondered
Sat a while and quietly
Pondered
Why she wants to look like Barbie
Hence
Barbie has to buy her friends?

There once was a silicon
Who just escaped from the prison
They found out out that they argon
And jacked some radon
Beacause he can't affordium,
He decided to go straight to Californium.
This is the end of my actinium
So they send me back to Germanium.

Billowing implants-

Still tetrahedral. |

Silicon
tilt the glimmering tracery
of patterned alloys inlaid,
a work of art hidden deep within
unseen;
off/on
on/off
semiconducting, thus
words float silently
to the surface.

LEAD.
I think it was at that moment,
When you laughed, turned your head,
And moved to speak to the one who
Glistened in the springtime sun.
It was then my heart sank as though
The blood which previously flowed
Had turned to lead.
Senses deadened, i struggle to conceal
The drops of despair dribbling
down my face.
She is more beautiful,
And to your eyes, more worthy
Of your love. But look,
Does her head contain more
Than thoughts of you?Does she
Wake each day with a heavy heart,
Because you are parted?
Give me your hand
And the jigsaw is complete.
FRANCIUM.
Although your name was Fran they called you that,
Winking and laughing as schoolboys tend to do,
When they embark upon new nicknaming.
But who could know this element of fun
Would cause the early death of she who bore
It.Achingly you worked without a break,
That hope of challenge forefront in your mind,
But work to try and get this nobel prize,
Caused overwork, fatigue.You left the lab
That fatal day with barely open eyes.
The car no longer firm in your control,
You struggled with technology, and lost.
Now infamous for death and not your work-
What passes through your mind where'er you are?
SILICON
Plastic barbie dolls with bleached white teeth,
Superficially beautiful but what's beneath
These models of perfection in our world,
Who bear no resemblance to real girls?
Obsessed with what is seen and not what's said,
Like graves, we see the tombstones, not the dead.
So smile and think you're beautiful inside,
But if your face is ugly, life's denied. |

Silicon
Known in valleys.
Maker of sand.
I felt you once,
warm,
nippled,
in my right hand.
Silicon.
An uplifting element. |
