The Edge of the Earth

The edge of the earth is a mysterious place,
a place no one has found before
People have searched, searched, and searched,
for a road to the next universe: a door
The earth may be round, but hopes live on,
to discover something new to explore

Falling off the earth, into space,
but not into space at all
Where else, you ask, could you fall off into,
and they answer a place, but not a place at all
What, you ask, is this all about? 
Fanatical, zealotic fantasies, hopes powered by myths?

No, they say, no, not at all,
we are not the zealots.
For if you do not believe,
the things we humans can do
If you don't believe, that there's something else,
Then, you hypocrites, you have very wrongly misperceived.

Our mission, our purpose, is held upon one, and only one thing; our faith
If we did not try, try to break free
try to break free from our cage,
If we did not try, try to see
what we truly are,
If we did not try, try to understand
what is past the edge of the earth, 
then why were we placed on this planet?

We were created with great powers,
enormous and awe-inspiring powers
Intelligence; we understand and know
Adaptability; we change as change flows
Determination; we trek unflappably through obstacles and challenges
Curiosity, the soul of humanity
We are curious, and if we were not, we wouldn't be here
Now, you ask, how do you go about this?

First, we find the edge of the earth.
