1 Not facts, but values and visions one finds
In the myths and tales from ancient minds.
2 Science’s proofs and obscure theories
Aren’t as soothing as age-old stories.
3 Devils and spirits are called by us
Bacteria, germs and viruses.
4 Myths and spooks of ancient folks
Perhaps were their dreams and jokes.
5 Myths were stories serious
To explain the world that’s all around us.
6 Who take mythologies as really true,
Can sometimes get wild and combative too.
7 Myths are often tales delightful:
Deep-felt visions, oft insightful.
8 All the gods in human history
Are filled with magic, myth and mystery.
9 We accept the God of our kin and kith.
What others worship, we call a myth.
10. Myths see the world in terms too stark:
As good and bad, as light and dark.
