I ask you once,
Do you believe in Bigfoot?
No? How come?
Is it the fact that you've never seen him?
Or because nobody else has?
Seems logical, right?
There are seven billion people on this planet,
So why is he still a mystery?
Surely, one of those humans must have some evidence.
Maybe a hair,
Or Possibly a footprint.
And in the years that Man has had cameras,
Somebody has to have a picture.
So how come nobody does?

Alright,
I'll admit it.
There is no proof.
Nobody has seen him,
Nobody has physical evidence

Which is Exactly why
I believe in Bigfoot.

Confused?
Maybe you need to hear a different philosophy.
My philosophy.

I believe in the fact
that if you haven't seen something
If you haven't touched something,
If you have no proof of whatever it is you don't believe in,

Then you are in no position to testify against it.
You have no proof
that it does not have a chance of existence.

I ask you twice,
Do you believe in Bigfoot?

Still, no?
Is it because you never see anything about it on the news, or in your magazines?
You may think I'm lying to you about his existence.
But how do you know what is true and what is not?
In this world full of lies,
How can you tell
The good from the bad?,
The happy from the sad,
The wrong from the right,
The dark from the light?

You can't.

None of these truly exist.
Victory for you is defeat for another.
Happiness for him is depression for the other
The media tries
to combine everything we like,
with what gets our attention.
With that information,
They mold the 'Perfect' Celebrity
Crushing the person inside to a pebble.
What is the difference between what they want
And what you see?

I ask you thrice,
Do you believe in Bigfoot?


And I ask you once,

Do you believe in a God?

This poem is my philosophy on how things exist, and how the media shuts out that information because it is not 'good for publicity'
