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
