4. The Cosmic Mystery
Do you know there's more than meets the eye,
In the vast, uncharted cosmic sky?
Not just stars and planets that gleam,
But unseen forces that make the universe teem.
Dark Matter, a shadowy presence, unseen,
Yet it shapes galaxies, keeps them serene.
Invisible, it doesn't emit light,
But its gravitational pull is a powerful sight.
Dark Energy, a mysterious force,
Accelerating the universe's course.
Stretching space, causing galaxies to flee,
A cosmic expansion for all to see.
So, let's inspire the young to reach for the stars,
To ponder the universe, near and far.
For in understanding the unknown,
We find our place in the cosmic zone.
