God Particle

In Switzerland, the scientists created a God particle,
claiming that the creator could be made in a laboratory.
Interesting to say the least but what about faith that brings me to my knees?
The belief that I am but a mere speck in history?
Sacrilege and blasphemy often go hand in hand.
Ignorance, however, is not bliss;
I wish this was a concept more of us could understand.
Wanting to be first and best has always been mankind's demand,
resulting in conflicts throughout the world's holy lands.
I am an unholy man; done things in my short time here
that I am too ashamed to admit.
But now I plead the fifth as that glove no longer fits, so please acquit.
Changing as I grow older, evolving as I defeat my bad habits.
I vow from here on out to solely speak the truth. 
A car although a vehicle can also be a photo booth.
Slowly but surely conquering my demons, my anxieties are soothed.
It is but meagre recompense for behaving like Ebenezer Scrooge.
But I am not a stooge even if my hair is Curly, not Larry or Moe,
as I regain my footing trying to recount all that I know.
No more pain or fear, I surrender and accept to reap all that I have sown.
Lo and behold, take in my stance as I put my lips together and blow.
Hail Mary, full of grace and forgive me father, for my sins.
Grant me the courage to accept the things I can'tchange.
Let me be secure in my identity so that I can, once again, know serenity.
Guilt and shame so often get the best of me,
so please just let me do me as I forget so quickly 
about life and liberty in my pursuit to be happy.
