PROVEN ASSUMPTIONS

There are, within the realm of common sense,

a great many beliefs, unanalyzed

because they command complete confidence,

or they’ve been handed down until they’re prized.

When Science sets out to investigate,

and proves the wisdom we’ve known, all along,

without the need to really cogitate,

most laugh at its method and say it’s wrong

to spend the kind of money that it does

to formally tell us nothing that’s new

(nor drastic’lly change our view of what was),

but what it really offers is what’s true.

There’s lots of prep to serve good food for thought

and Science is a careful juggernaut.
