Two years since they took shots at you eight guns
Pointed in your direction aiming for your sombre heart
In the midst of a galaxy fifty million light-years away
To glimpse the invisibility of an extravagant theory
Propounding your existence grounded solely on the effects
Of your coquettish density attracting particles and waves.
You are hot. Wanted for audaciously devouring matter
Guilty as charged a crafty puppeteer, orchestrating balance
With strings of finicky gravity, distorting space-time
To its pleasure your accusers, inquisitive earthly creatures
Laughing at your jokes on relativity, whilst artfully striving
To decipher the physics behind the secrets of your tricks.
A mere mathematical curiosity until genius determination
Led them to gather and scatter around their world to zero
In on you, snap you like no one had ever done before.
They stubbornly perused the cosmos in search of a trail
Denoting your insatiableness as you feed darkness with light,
Swallowing dust and stars ignoring in reality you shine
A dazzling aura of oblivious preys, nonchalantly twirling
Around you unaware they will ultimately fall into you
Deep abysses of the unknown. Triggers were pulled
They immortalised you, your massive nature mirrored
By the weight of your picture, physical servers flown
Across the globe for the greatest minds to recompose
You on a scale of conceivable dimensions to portray
The immensity of a universe that never ceases to amaze.
