The Poem of Everything

With a mass influx of background radiation Strengthens the idea of a cosmic inflation Ten seconds of magic starting with a bang Leaves religious hearts with a heavy pang What before was that of a mysterious bubble Was to be unwound by the discovery of Hubble That creation is expanding at the speed of light Makes the naked eye struggle for a clear sight To only that of which our minds can observe Which some do believe is shaped in a curve Believed before that it was in fact much flatter For not in parallel lines can keep this dark matter In this space appears to be no electric charge Keeping Apollo at bay, and Armstrong at large What conditions would allow life of intelligent form? Or withstand heat or the sweep of a galactic storm Into the mass amount of scientific speculation The idea of which a metric theory of gravitation Can imply through discovery of Einstein’s Ring Even light from a far, will make your eyes sting So even now we can see those many stars And some assume we could even have life on Mars But what about that gaping hole in the Milky Way? That feeds on the mighty energy and light as its prey A region of spacetime where nothing can escape Hidden between the stars in its invisible cape Through event horizon time ticks more slow To truly unravel space, that we may never know

Sorry for the late reply David, I haven't been on since. Thank you very much. I enjoy researching heavily into cosmology and the theological aspects of space.
