Phantom Images
To me, ghosts can't be spirits of the dead,
though something weird seems to be occurring.
I believe that our eyes can be misled;
so phantom images keep recurring.
A departed soul would not hang about
after leaving a body that's now dead.
It'd intuitively figure things out;
and thus spiritually move ahead.
Ghosts are oft seen, engaged in some routine,
as if trapped in a repetitive act.
Neither alive nor dead, but in between;
a presumption we've accepted as fact.
If ghosts are spirits, why do they wear clothes;
I'm to believe clothes have souls, I suppose?
