Don’t believe in Ghosts.
But there’s a ghost in my house.
Or that’s what I’m told.

I was searching for a good Ghost image for my haiku and found this one.

These blogging contests can lead you down some very strange paths.

It’s an Interesting Story ..

I consider myself to be somewhat sane, big believer in science, love facts and tangible, unarguable reality, all that good stuff.

What’s a ghost ????

Aren’t we all just ghosts … Spirits in the Material World.

"We are not human beings having a spiritual experience; we are spiritual beings having a human experience." - Pierre Teilhard de Chardin

Lyrics

Oh!

There is no political solution
To our troubled evolution
Have no faith in constitution
There is no bloody revolution

We are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world

Our so called leaders speak
With words they try to jail ya
They subjugate the meek
But it's the rhetoric of failure

We are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world

Where does the answer lie?
Living from day to day
If it's something we can't buy
There must be another way

We are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world

Thanks, I love haikus.
So, I write them all the time.
And without much thought.

Love it! It begs a sequel haiku! I wrote one too. I never write them but I'm so looking forward to doing so weekly and reading others! The ghost photo made me giggle too. Love that Chardin quote too.

The sequel is that I am the ghost in my house. Even if I don’t believe it. Per the Chardin quote
