The regression
It tells the story of a person whos doubts evolve to change him from knowing to believeing

I wrote this during form assembly. It symbolises people convinced to believe by meeting people who see their doubts.

The world is round
Of this it is certain
I know

The world is round
I have travelled and returned
and so it must be
I think

Is the world round?
So I have seen and been told
But when I look I can see
And see and see and see
That this grassy plain, this
Ocean must be so flat,
And so
I doubt

I have walked across deserts and open plains,
I have travelled endless oceans.
The world is round
I do not think.

The world is Flat.
I have met others on this plane
who see with an eagles eye
this expanse and together
we see what others cannot
The world is Flat.
I believe.
