The Earth Isn't Flat You Numpties!



I can't believe what I have read
Have swathes of humans gone brain-dead?
I feel the stupid leaking in 
When I engage with folk so dim

The argument for a flat earth dies
As soon as you use your bloody eyes!
Do trees grow diagonally toward the rim?
To escape the central gravity within?

No they don't you big soft shite!
Nor is it always everywhere daylight.
The sun would shine across the disc.
But of that there is no actual risk!

To many the facts that bear this out
For starters water would soon go out
We'd burn alive under cancerous rays
From the sun no shelter in constant days

Without the magnetic poles and fields
We'd lose that essential protective shield.
So stop this now and do some reading 
Loud shouting on the web, the lies, is feeding.

A test for us, is this concept
To see what bullshit we accept.
However stupid the science, or the leader.
We lap it up like bottom feeders.
