I found the 411
On just how gravity has run
The earth and moon and sun
As ‘round each other they are spun
Great cosmic wheels in wheels
Rotating in their reels
Their orbiting reveals
They are involved in astral deals
Deals that the stars accept
And at which planets prove adept
So distances are kept
No mass’s energy is swept
Into another’s sphere
Where it might disappear
To remain free and clear
To themselves masses must adhere
The planet earth, of course
Has a strong centripetal force
So energy like yours
And mine is secured to its source
Pulling us actively
Acting attractively
A pull that has to be
The force that we call “gravity”
Gravity must be dealt
With or an injury is felt
In its grip all is held
And nothing ever gets repelled
When any body tries
Lifting from where it lies
It calls for exercise
Or gravity won’t let it rise
Gravity requires strain
And gravity produces pain
You battle it in vain
Unless good balance you maintain
Find equilibrium
Otherwise you become
A victim of the sum
Of heights that you have fallen from
Balance: gravity’s friend
Is in a spot to recommend
What energy you spend
If gravity lets you extend
Above the solid ground
To which every mass is bound
You pay for every pound
Therefore, good balance must be found
No savior has been sent
With divine orders to prevent
A plummeting descent
Or catch you in any event
Whether you live and learn
Is none of gravity’s concern
For energy you burn
All you receive is what you earn
Even though lives are claimed
People fall, get killed and maimed
Among the culprits named
Gravity never once gets blamed
You lament balance lost
But never do feel double-crossed
At paying the full cost
Of any fall down you get tossed
By forcing us to fall
Gravity has preserved us all
For whether large or small
Dumb mass is at its beck and call
At gravity’s command
You must have balance just to stand
Misplace your balance and
You learn how you are bound to land
We all come down to earth
From the first moment of our birth
Which will, for what it’s worth
Afford but little cause for mirth
Caught in earth’s orbit, tight
We’re spun around with all its might
Rotating, day and night
During a universal flight
Though gravity, as such
Consists of nothing you can touch
It influences much
Clasping all tightly in its clutch
A force too firm to fight
Of which nobody catches sight
Gravity will decide
Any disputes concerning height
Gravity’s like a debt
That you ignore to your regret
For gravity won’t let
A payment due, go by unmet
Gravity’s on our backs
Its tax collections don’t relax
We learn its basic facts
Or rapidly gravity acts
There can be no delay
In paying what we have to pay
Gravity will not say
We are excused in any way
But we can see that so
We pay however much you owe
That much we have to know
Or down we’re surely bound to go
Damages from a fall
Depend on circumstance and all
Whether a drop is small
Or from a story that is tall
No matter how you feel
Gravity stays on even keel
It makes a strong appeal
In any deal that it may seal
I got the 411
On how the deal is being done
And so I have begun
To have myself a bit of fun
As I enjoy my share
While knowing how I must take care
Displaying how I dare
Play by the rules I feel are fair
The sun, the earth and moon
With one another are in tune
They balance out or soon
With debris heaven would be strewn
Therefore, I realize
That I can only see clear skies
Long as things harmonize
And equilibrium applies
