A molecule of a tear drop
Laying dormant for a baptismal wish
To instill the renewal of gentile feelings
In the inner faith of others
The seed to germinate the enlightenment
Upon the respect of humanity

A molecule of a sweat drop
Preserved in the work of accomplishment
The result of a masterpiece of sacrifice
That built a temple of contemplation
For the minds to merge in after thoughts
In the contribution to mankind’s awareness

A molecule of a blood drop
So precious of gold, that it rejuvenates
Pumping up the heart in self respect
Straining against gravity to raise the soul
The hydraulic fluid to power the world
In the force to effect mortality

A molecule of a water drop
Our universal need to quench our thirst
Within our parched souls
Sending out the moisture within us
To evaporate into other minds
Into the fragility of uniqueness

A mixing bowl of chemical interaction
The essence of civilization
The melting pot that stirs history
To carry beyond ones existence
We are the teacher to tomorrow’s words
The evaporation of future thought

In the liquidity of ever changing poets
Singers that will electrify the worlds
Writers that will absorb us, changing minds
Painters that will excite the senses to go beyond
Musicians that elevate us into the heavens
Yes we are the artists with the heritage
To make the difference in inspire change

A very good poem, i like the scientific metaphors, it really gets across your meaning.
