   You speak like the man who's just discovered the world   
   isn't what he first thought it to be. The world far from   
   being flat, is round, has always been round, will always   
   be round. You speak like the man who's just discovered   
   this truth, after a life time of lies.   
      
   Does this new truth change you? Should it change you?   
   The you, at the center of all you perceive.   
      
   Do you now walk with caution, threading gingerly on this   
   uncertain world, do you take your cue from those around   
   you, also discovering this truth? The world has not   
   changed just because you've discovered this new meaning.   
      
   I come with further news for you. The world is not only   
   round, it traverse a path around a blazing star. The   
   world far from being this flat plain, at the center of   
   the universe, is a speck in a universe of unimagined   
   order and complexity.   
      
   Truth is knowledge. The knowledge we discover, the   
   knowledge others have, the knowledge we may never know.   
   Truth waits for us. In the mean time there are the lies,   
   we don't yet know are lies.
