Scientist Succeeds, For Himself Only
The scientist was working in his lab.
His private project, for which he was glad.
Others would think he was totally nuts.
But, he had a theory, he had the bucks.
He felt man could pass through solids.
He could walk through walls. He vowed this.
Everything is mostly open space.
The space between the atoms, in this case.
If you could line up your atoms with others.
You could pass through, if it’s your druthers.
Jesus did it in the Bible, or so it states.
After his resurrection, an altered state?
Before His death He passed through crowds.
Maybe invisible? Not because of a shroud.
Scientifically, it should be able to be done.
If it could, he would be the one.
He worked for years to figure out how.
There had to be a way somehow.
Then, his hand passed through the countertop.
He was totally and completely in shock.
What exactly had he done?
Could it be done by anyone?
He was mentally willing his atoms to align.
It happened so easily, it shocked his mind.
He immediately put it to the test.
His hand went through anything without rest.
Then, came the biggest challenge of all.
He would try to walk through a wall.
He walked right through without any sweat.
Why so long for this challenge to be met?
It was a peculiar way of thinking.
It did take years to develop, without blinking.
He realized it had to come automatically.
“It was natural,” he said dramatically.
What was he going to do now?
Such thoughts before, he wouldn’t allow.
He didn’t want to be distracted in any way.
Now, he had to figure out what to say.
In the end, he kept the secret for his own pleasure.
Too many complications could affect his fate here.
Just the fact that he did succeed.
Would have to fulfill his every need.
It was better this way.
Such knowledge could ruin the day.
