A Short Poem on the Exploitation of

Humanity's Desire To Believe

by RHYS


There is a curse upon us all,

so I bid ye all beware!

Believe not all you read, good folk;

and read your words with care.


I'd advise a hearty scanning first

of each and every page:

then throw the rubbish in the can,

if it bears the words "New Age."


For example take the Martian 'Face,'

a staple of  this farce,

(they inform us that an ancient race

once came to Earth from Mars!)


Those Pyramids on Giza plain?

The Martians built those too!

If we can't see how the things were built,

an alien will do!


Read your prophesies of Edgar Cayce,

and even Nostrodamus...

but if you take their words to heart my friends,

you may be called an ignoramous.


While all this stuff is great to read,

and think on for a while,

please take it with a grain of salt,

and a little whimsy smile.


For there's nothing older in this world,

than the profit making scheme,

which disseminates such lines of lies

with half-truths in between.


But if while here you think to ask

the Avatars for FACTS;

you've just performed greatest form

of SCIENTIFIC acts.
