The Ballad of the Higgs Boson.

(Image from the CERN website- http://public.web.cern.ch/public/)

Of the Higgs field non-zero
Only I am the hero.
From the 1960s only predicted
In 2012 CERN scientists detected.
My raison d’etre fundamental
Giving mass to particles elemental.
With no sign of a spin intrinsic,
Possess neither charge color nor charge electric.
When energy with energy collide
I was there, it was spied.
Unstable I don’t  exist long
Gone by the end of this song.
With a field scalar, I my own anti
Weighing in a whopping 125 GeV/c2.
Celebrate my being full throttle
My potential resembles a champagne bottle.

There was a Big Bang
All the doubts scatter.
I am the Higgs Boson
I make the Universe matter.
