The Guardians Of Flat Earth


The champions of flatness,
stand  alongside the rotating lunacy,
assert to protect the earth’s edges 
from the domination of roundness.

They congregate paradoxically in rings,
proclaim that the curvature is a delusion,
gravity is a hearsay in critical conspiracy
of circular minds caged within a sphere.

The horizon stretches along horizontal line, 
marks the perimeter of the planar world, 
beyond which the clouds disappear into abyss,
the basin holding the contained oceans.

At the frozen fringes of the flat atlas 
lies the great ring of the ice walls, 
the boundary keeping the world from falling 
into the celestial silent nothingness.
