Concentric Circles

Lift your celestial gaze to be amazed in Wonder As has Ptolemy, then Copernicus and Kepler after Who are the capricious Gods who dance in wander To revere Mercury? Venus? Mars? Saturn? Jupiter? Ptolemy imagined a play staged at his own residence There the Gods heaved upon us all their vain existence Trapped by Humanity's Ego, blind to exposed evidence His glowing Hearth lifting higher embers of negligence Copernicus heralded the inspirational spark of sacred denial Orbits dared to be spun into the ire wrath of Church reprisal Hush your Truth. Mankind cannot, will not be the Sun's disciple Calculations implore? Observations explore? ASTRONOMICAL!!! Kepler awoke to his divine intervention lifting the veil of Dogma He questioned atop ashes of descent burned without anesthesia A revolution uproar of Ellipses stretching in variable speed inertia The Gravity of his Truth pulling inextricably at undisputable raw data The moral of this recounting is to shun the fantasies touted by Elves Be wise. Be curious. Gather the courage to see Truth for yourselves
