Dark Matter

The scientists are searching for dark matter
but they don't know what they're looking for,
they've measured all the matter in the universe
and found it's not enough, there should be more.

the matter can account for only 6%
not enough, to let the universe exist,
is it something we have yet to understand
or is it simply something that we've missed.

It has a mass, but not made up of atoms
invisible, but with a force so strong,
could be what keeps the universe surviving
or may be our law of physics is all wrong.

A scientists life is studying the cosmos
to find most of it gone must be quite odd,
maybe they should give up studying science
and leave the running of the universe to God.
