Everybody Knew

Once upon a time, everybody knew
the earth is the center of the universe.
This was confirmed by religion
and ratified by politicians.

The best scientists of the day spoke doubts.

Once upon a time, everybody knew
the earth is flat.
Common sense confirmed it.
Common politicians ratified it.

The best scientists of the day spoke doubts.

Since everybody knew,
nobody listened.
