A poem about the paranormal, mainly cryptozoology... |
Modern Science never ceases to confound and amaze me With its blind unacceptance of that which is unknown Modern Scientists are content, for example, To tell you that the Planet Earth is the only place in the universe (Which is considered "infinite" or even ever-expanding at an exponential rate) That is capable of housing life-forms. The very idea that "alien" life has visited this planet seems right out of the question After thousands of sightings historical accounts and even after Project Bluebook Modern Scientists, at least the ones considered "respectable" or "credible" Maintain the "I'll believe it when I see it" attitude. Such is the way of Modern Science And I suppose it is as it should be. All this is not to say I personally believe in Grey Aliens, UFOs, or abductions Not even the "I want to believe" philosophy suits me. I'm simply content to keep the possibility open I would express little surprise at an actual encounter I've even fantacised about being abducted and taken off of this God-forsaken rock (before we blow it up) But before I start to digress and lose focus (which happens to me a lot) Let us consider my favorite science The field of Cryptozoology The study of Cryptyds, creatures thought of as either extremely rare -or non-existent. I read much on the subject And I prefer to take the stance that unless you can prove to me that these creatures don't exist... I will believe that they do. You would call me crazy If I were to say: 650 ft below the placid frigid waters of Loch Ness, there are prehistoric beasts swimming and snacking on sturgeon or The Yeti still traverses the snow-capped mountains of Tibet, while his cousin, the Sasquatch, hides in obscure wooded regions of America or El Chupacabras is still sucking goats in Puerto Rico or That Mokele-Mbembe stalks the Congo alongside a 100ft long Anaconda But If this were one-hundred years ago, Science would have conditioned you to respond the same way If I happened to mention the Mountain Gorilla of Africa or if I were to tell you that there were squid large enough to tangle with Sperm Whales or That the coelocanth is alive and well (albeit in small numbers) So you see We simply don't know, for sure, if these creatures exist But I'd like to think that they do. If only to stand up against the attitude of Modern Scientists and PROVE THEM WRONG. I think that I could die happy, if I proved that Nessie was real or that there are, in fact, Sasquatch. It would satisfy my personal view of reality, to laugh in the face of "respected" scientists, to retrieve these creatures from the world of myth and folklore hand them a Latin name tag 'em and send them on their way And suddenly They're as real as me As real as I want them to be... |
