drills the surface
reach to depths
peels layers of belief
bitter skin removes
gets to sweet core of orange
bereft of it
we are in caves
groping for light
in same vein
global warming rise to limits
extinct human race
fluid behind
most math’s
uncovers bit by bit
reaches marvelous depths
brings einstein’s relativity
without doubt
celestial bodies are gods
moving round the earth
instead orbiting round sun
Author notes
Doubting thomeses are isolated in society, but they bring real light like coopernicus, Gallilio and socrates

Thank you so much for this thought prokonking piece. I mist adnit I hadn't thought about things in this way. But you are right of course.These famous people throughout history were all doubters whio brought many truths to light.
