The Universe

Physics and scientists
Derive their theories
On chalky equations
Leaking from brains
Onto boards of hours of work
In seconds wiped
By water and a sponge
Retracting their words
If being in the wrong
Later expanding them
As a triumph of sort
As the Universe!

Physics and scientists
In their black holes
Annihilate time and life
Dot dot dot
Entities of no matter
Yet present and ticking
Like two bombs
Enticing explosions
But never going off
Luring the surrounds
The planets the whole lot
Into their gravitational
Destructive throats

Physics and scientists
Scratching their beards
Downing beers and
Packets of crisps
Draw galaxies as oval
Trajectories
Visible to telescopes
Yet their histories
Remain pools of mysteries
Suspending the motto of Socrates
'Knowing nothing'
All inclusive
Except the bang mounting to
An educated guess

The worst diseases were create by modern science. Sometime seeking cure can create more deadly sickness. Science is needed and can be a blessing or a great sin. Einstein create the weapon of destruction and he seek peace. Thank you Kate for sharing the powerful and worthwhile poetry.

Yes, science is good, but also abused for bad stuff. Thank you for voicing your opinion! 😊

"An educated guess"
Wow. You nailed it. Never thought someone will write about one of my fav. Subjects (physics) so amazingly.
Science and physics. A huge universe.

Thank you! I have watched Hawkins and listened to his thoughts. It's so complicated, maybe more than it should be. Anyway, my theory is reflected in this poem ☺ I'm glad you like it.

I really loved it. You're very welcome, my friend. :)

I can't really critique, or comment, on poem because I don't have enough knowledge. I only very recently got into reading them after staying far away from them. But reading this made me want to comment.

I enjoyed this.

Hello Martha, you don't need knowledge in order to express your opinions! Read and see what a poem does to you, how it flows, how it sounds... thank you! I'm happy you have come across mine after a break, and even more so that you enjoyed it!
