Americium the element
is number 95
radioactive metallic
transuranic actinide
americium like Europium
but created synthetically
alpha emission's greater
than radium
by a factor of three

Glenn T. Seaborg discovered Americium
and was granted patent 3156523
the first claim states
the discovery
was first announced on a children's quiz show
informally

Americium has
a few uses
in common households
and industry
in smoke detectors
for ionizing radiation
and a neutron emitter
for radiography

Americium isn't proud
because it's an inanimate thing
its synthesis was made possible
by US Military funding

Americium was created
by the power of great minds
Americium's scientific development
is a boon for all humankind
