There are those places ins this world, now, it is said.
Which are, at present, being haunted by the dead.
While it is rare to have a “ghost” communicate,
Or try to, neither do they seem to have a trait
Of scaring people, although that we do ourselves—
For we refuse to think that there is anything that delves
Into our presence can exist, so take great means
To question consciousness on which awareness leans.
But when it comes to normal functions of our brains,
A stark reality of innocence remains.
Where children, very young, may see, or sense, or feel
An entity which we refuse to think as real.
We get caught up with formulating how to live;
So anything outside of that we fail to give.
Of course, this verse won’t change a thing—you still are you!
You will be quick to judge…as we, most often, do!
