Black Hole

They disclosed a hole today
A big black hole far, far, away 
Scientists, in wide eyed glee,
Said “this proves Einstein’s theory”. 
That states when mass is so compact 
What gets sucked in just won’t come back
And should you find yourself to be 
On a black hole trajectory 
You’d experience a strange sensation 
A nasty dose of spaghettification
And as the world looks to the void 
To view this cosmic hemorrhoid 
Let’s take time out to contemplate
To consider and appreciate, 
This wondrous, spinning, orb of blue 
That serves as home to me and you.
