To believe or not to believe,that's the question

Is this poetry I just read,
No just a dubious fallacy,
Insidious is only a claim,
To a marvelous unknown outside!

Knowing does not equate understanding,
What do I know about knowledge?
Even scientists do stupid things,
How much more for a common man?

Would you call your best friend,
A liar for seeing or hearing strange things,
If they say they saw a dead man walking,
They must be crazy in their head!

Would you mock and make fun,
Of the people you really care,
when they say to you what they saw,
Aliens,monsters or even a live dinosaur!

Then there are the third world superstitions,
Urban legends and arcane curses,
Magic users fighting with mystical creatures,
Are these just mere illusions or real?

What if the ones who've seen it,
Are the very ones you look up to,
Are they crazy or its just a nightmare,
Now what if it was not them but you!
