Insight Out
The ostrich observed, with its head in the ground,
that the earth wasn’t flat but was 3D and round.
Far below, underfoot, although quite far away,
were oceans and continents in full display.
This magnificent dome on a giant rotunda
whose floor was concave also caused him to wonda
why those of short stature say what they observed
was a surface beneath them that’s flattened, not curved.
Perhaps if their heads were pulled out of those places
where sunlight and truth were obscured from their faces
they’d see both the light and the shadows which show
there is much more to earth than what they seem to know.
Philosophical dreams which they’ve given wide berth
have a dearth of the wonders of heaven and earth.
