Where are the ghosts? Gods? Angels? Devils?
The haunting spirits with undying desires
unfinished business
the reincarnation of lovers
lost and found again
to be lost twice over
Those angels who catch people when they fall
finding their way back to the gates of heaven
demons in caves
howling through fissures that echo in your head
ghosts in void decks
school toilets, icy breezes
shadows which dance
laughing at your back
the devil and his wager
a bet on your soul
semi, demi-gods
mythical creatures
fragipani, garlic, crosses, holy water
full moon, silver bullets
all condemned to bullshits,superstitions
courtesy of rationality
the new God of the modern world.

Where is that view of the world when fears and hopes took shape in these things?
the very images of desires, anxieties, truths, colours, stories, lives of human beings
to be torn down by the new science
by reason
Faith in facts above fantasies
"Harry Potter"'s desperate attempt to revive the dead:
cheap, facile.
So we become some kind of rational zombies
drained of our life blood in imagination now called superstitions
fears have names now
psychologists help you put labels on these things
they are called syndromes
phobia vs Dracula
our world is a grey one-explained daily in newspapers
politicians dictate, experts define, scientists explain
there are causes now
always cause for effects
we can fear less now?
ghost are bad jokes to pass time
and good conversation starters.
Cancer is scariere than malevolent undead
Imagination, escapcism has their own divided workspace now
find them in books, comics, cinema
just don't ask about life
be happy with these little rigid segments
they are the fruits of hard labour

Pity those people who believed in these things,
there are no rain gods,
only condensation, evaporation and water cycles
no mother earth or hell even,
it's called the core.
you are not seeing dead people
it's called schizoprehnia
Possessed?
no, she is suffering from seizures.
thanks to reason, we have answers.
And stories, superstitions, legends and myths
are not a problem,
thye are precisely what they are
and merely that.
