Gravity
Gravity what is this force that keep us here
that stops our feet from touching air
Gravity, scientist's search
for the physic's gravitron
yet perhaps I think
their search might be in vain
Could it be the atom
where thoughts of force remain
the atom circles endlessly
with flowing rings of life
electrons flow around it
in different numbered strings
the valence energy levels
hydrogen links with oxygen
that's H2O to you
two hydrogen one oxygen
creates the water zone
with hydrogen
The levels build
with just an only one
the valence energy level
has just one single particle
just one electron searching
looking to complete
it's searching for another
and links with oxygen
oxygen has eight
The first level is complete
but now
it's more confusing
now there's level two
valence level two
Now seeks eight to be complete
oxygen has six and wants two more to share
two one's from hydrogen
and six from oxygen
with eight they're into sharing
and water is there name
but wait lets stop perhaps that wrong
maybe not complete
perhaps there's just a little more
the atom seeks to meet
a mild trace of energy
a mild form of pull
a gentle slight attraction
perhaps we've yet to meet
gravity's attraction
a mild form of force
could matter attract matter
could that be the simple source
the earth is made of matter
attracting us to it
The moon is just a sixth it's size
and gravity is weak
but then is space a vacuum
and empty bottle sucks
you empty out a bottle
and it suck towards itself
the earth would be in motion
the vacuum out in space
is pulling us towards it
well earth is pulling back
around and round in circles
around and round we go
opposing forces virtues
create's the life we know
granted Albert Einstien
believed it wasn't so
He believed that gravity
was formed from space and time
the curvature of space he said
created gravity
I have my doubts I think about
the atom all the time
I think the atom takes the prize
creating what we need for life
