If The World Was Flat...

If the world was still flat, would we still labor in circles?

Would the circles still toil to our own tails?

Or would smiles shine on our brothers,

Would laughter ring in sisters ears?

Could we see the end of war?

If we weren’t staring down the arch that takes us to the beginning of the circle?

Would our minds meet over truth?

Would our tongues slow to consider the other mind?

Nature can be defined as a circle, can we escape our nature?

Must we be doomed to rehash our misconceptions?

If the world was flat, and straight lines ruled nature, what would we see?
