this gigantic sphere
filled with all these people,
with oceans,
with everything.
revolves around
something more
than the sun.
it goes around
us all,
even if we cant see it.
our lives,
its alive by our presence.
without us,
what a shame
to waste
this huge circle
on something else.
obnoxious, though we may seem,
the earth revolves around us,
all of us,
even if i am
scientifically incorrect,
its true.

This is a good idea to incorporate into poetry, but I think you could perhaps aim it away from literally telling us this revelatory information, and guide it more in the direction of suggesting this and hinting at it. While never telling us this directly, you could easily use words like "rotation" and "revolution" and "axis" without using "earth" this "sphere". See what I'm saying?
