Denial

Why do we choose to rationalise
odd happenings we can't explain.
The evidence of our own eyes
we all deny time and again.
I think it highly probable because
we do not understand.
Believing it impossible
we just dismiss it out of hand.
We do not really want to know
so we discount the evidence.
Which shows or merely tends to show
some humans have an extra sense.
So we pretend in self defence
that ESP is sheer nonsense..

Very nice.

It absolutely is NOT nonsense! Many times I have had a sixth sense if you will on things that happened to me or my loved ones. Call it an uneasy feeling...a foreboding, if you will. But it is REAL!

Both the Soviets and Nazi's spent a great deal of time and money reasearching this very phenomonom.

They very definetly are in denial!

Thank you for this Ivor!
