Flat World Continues Without Roundness

Lets not get carried away with facts Or jump to the granular conclusions Evident, proven beyond a reasonable doubt Down to the shadows of last molecules found Earth is held together by glue based magnets Causing a stir in the illusion There on the curvature of space Ice caps north and south are two dimensional Really just one continuous line around the planet Drawn for your safety to the edge Ice blocks keep us from falling off Spinning into outer space in all directions There are many vertical worlds out there People have to cling on for dear life Do a lot of climbing up to survive Give me a planet horizontal and flat One that I can touch at all four corners That one over there around the bend will do The truth is; round things make me dizzy Magnets and ice are easier to understand Lines merge with the Earth at the center With length and width at the core, not much more Reached at the border of the arctic circle By a line, a boat and a leap of faith Leading back to the same place as before At the border of the arctic circle boats turn back Lands end, drop off and that's the truth They return to the one place that is for sure Their destination, their point of origin
