When the World Was Flat

There was no rotation around the sun Earth was the center of the universe without rotating People would literally go Medieval on your ass Ships on the ocean were frequently eaten by sea monsters Or fell off the planet due to poor navigational planning They say the worlds end is near Parasites lived within all human beings back then Making holes and lesions on faces of the people Dating and good looks did not go hand in hand When I was young there was no food to eat We lived on religion and the word of God The Dark Ages were darker than you think Parents died at age twenty five or five I can't remember No medicine or science at that time There were plenty of leeches though to suck your blood Love was in the air in Spring Black Plague was everywhere When the world was flat not too long ago They still had snow and shovels Shovels were used exclusively to dig a grave Kept busy in every season for no particular reasons
