Not since Plato's day have words been spoken so
"Myth of Er" his words falling were heard to flow.
Then Aristotle came and said they all were much the same
earth's center religion took it then all others to blame
Ptolemy tried to bring it back with his ideas
the Arabs added then shook it out like gallerias.
Many different forms taken over men's few millennia
the order is minor changed much like the parthenia.
Even now men still disagree who is what as a part of it
Pluto kicked out for not being proper size of a planet.
But what they do not realize so small minded they all seem
a chard of wiccan glass it has powers not to demean
I bind it to my hand healing who I will the powers be
only good will I use it the Goddess left it for me
Go away you miserables find someone else to hate
I have much to much work to do here on my plate.

Very interesting. I like how you talk of the plantes, this always makes me smile. The little windows of the idea of religions and truth, and surpressed truth or lack there of. well done. Good luck to you.

Capturing history and weaving it into a write of rhyme to forge a creative and enticing image. Well done.
Best to you in the contest.
