The Nano World

Welcome to the nanoworld!
A world where everything is going nano
Where people value small things
Where big things matter not
Where single molecules can be seen

The nanoworld
A world we’ve all longed to see
Pioneered by Richard Feynman, who envisaged that
“plenty of room exits at the bottom”
And dominated by scientists, who have worked arduously for donkey’s years
In the quest to make our world better
Indeed, a scientific revolution has started
We should allow scientists to do their thing, while we sit back and watch how
it unfolds

The nanoworld
A world full of scientific breakthroughs
Where medicine is completely nano
Where damaged eyes can be welded
Where molecular switches control light
Where nanoparticles can be made

Farewell to the nanoworld!
A world which everyone should visit sometime
Embattled by its toxic ecosystem, you should always be on guard, and not
get carried away
Because some of the nanoparticles are not friendly
Some are airborne, while some are waterborne
But some are really friendly, and can be used for cancer treatment
Perhaps, we should focus more on the positive side
And, hopefully, we might begin to learn new things about the negative side
