Nuclear Fusion
by Admiral Jota
A proton is a baryonic mass
Whose charge we classify with symbol "plus".
Electrons (which are in the lepton class),
Are opposite: that's negative to us.
Take one of each: an atom you'll create,
Called hydrogen (the simplest element).
Netrons are a means to add some weight,
But not its basic type to reinvent.
Inside the heart of any healthy sun,
Great pressures force two atoms to become
Alchemic'ly combined, a single one:
Great energy released, plus helium.
So on, so forth, from two to three to four:
Thus oxygen and iron and gold and more!
