Galileo Poems - Poems about Galileo

...or What's science got to do with it? Galileo looked through a lens one day And, boy, was he astounded. The Earth wasn't flat as he'd been told, It was, in fact, quite rounded.

And so go our hopes. Some stage a distraction, a senseless sideshow, Insisting on missing its unflagging flow. Some raise a resistance, a psychical dike, Opposing by closing their minds all...
