Do You Believe In Ghosts?

Believe in Ghosts?  No Way!

By Elton Camp

To refute belief in ghosts is why I’ve come
To do it without beating the religion drum
There are entirely practical reason as to why
I know folks don’t become ghosts if they die

Murder me and invisible but active I become?
Then I’d take vengeance and even add some
I would whack your head right off your shoulders
So that in your own grave your corpse molders.  

No murderer would ever punishment escape
And the need for police and laws it’d reshape
Any vicious serial killer who is on the prowl
Of his very first victim would sure run afoul

A father who dies and leaves children behind
Could walk into just any bank and money find
His invisible ghost could walk through a wall
Go right inside the bank vault and take it all

Yet you never hear of any of this type stuff
To disprove the ghost idea it seems enough
So if you are ever tempted to believe a lie
A bit of common sense and logic please try
